Charles E Nicholson and His Yacht
This magnificent book is a celebration of the work of Charles E Nicholson, the most important British yacht designer of the twentieth century. The stunning photos of internationally renowned Italian photographer Franco Pace, capture the grace and elegance of these well known yachts sailing and racing today. In a fascinating preface, yacht historian William Collier chronicles the development of Nicholson's designs from the 1890s to the start of the Second World War. Together they have combined a gloriously lavish tribute to the scion of the Nicholson family, which will be of enduring interest.

"50 objects 50 stories is a celebration of storytelling. Fifty objects from the Nicholson Museum's collection have been chosen, not for the archaeological significance or for their aesthetic beauty, but for the often facsinating story they have to tell. The Nicholson Museum, founded in 1860, is home to the largest collection of antiquities in Australia, with artefacts coming from Greece, Italy, Egypt, Cyprus, Northern Europe and the Middle East. 50 objects 50 stories is also a celebration of a man, and of the museum he founded, Sir Charles Nicholson."--Cover verso.
