The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II facing right. ELIZABETH II, D G REGINA
Description reverse
Two images of the Bluenose are aligned to create a contrasting effect. In the background, the hull drawing focuses on W.J. Roué's streamlined design and the clean lines that contributed to the ship's successful racing career. In the foreground, the image of Bluenose without sails and dressed in an array of signal flags is based on a launch day (March 26, 1921) photograph, but the use of a forced perspective emphasizes the bow and creates a sense of movement.
