Framed Print of Regatta at Venice during the International Geographical Congress, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Regatta at Venice during the International Geographical Congress, 1881. The International Geographical Congress recently brought a numerous company of visitors, including foreigners of illustrious rank, as well as Italian Royalty, and scientific men of all nations, to the famous city of the Adriatic shore. Some of them may have had an opportunity of witnessing the ordinary celebration of picturesque local festivities, besides enjoying the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, and the romantic historical associations of Venice. The Regatta on the Grand Canal, of which an Illustration is presented to our readers, is still kept up with much of its antiquated pomp, reminding us somewhat of the old river procession on Lord Mayor's Day in London. Gondolas, with their quaintly shaped figure-heads and other artistic features of form, are commonly black and funereal-looking in colour, resembling an aquatic hearse. But Venice has also gaily-painted barges, to be rowed by six or eight oarsmen, who on this holiday occasion were dressed in antique costumes; and there was a great display of banners, tastefully designed with most significant emblems, suspended cross-wise at the tops of the masts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
