This engraving, titled "Royal Canoe Club, Race for the Challenge Cup at the Welsh Harp, Hendon" takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. The scene depicts a fiercely competitive race on the waters of the Welsh Harp, with canoes passing and sailing gracefully towards victory. The artist Alfred Courbould skillfully captures the intensity of the race as each canoe maneuvers through gybing and changing positions. Spectators eagerly await at various points along the course, their eyes fixed on the winning post where an exquisite cup awaits its triumphant owner. Amongst this sea of determined athletes, one figure stands out - Mr. Herbert. With his keen sight and strategic skills, he spies an opportunity to gain an advantage over his rivals. As he navigates around bottom buoys and officers overseeing fair play, Mr. Herbert's canoe named Pearl emerges as a strong contender for victory.
