Vintage Framed Clipper Ship Lithographic Print

This item is a rectangular maritime artwork depicting a three-masted clipper ship under full sail. The composition features the vessel angled against a series of stylized, vertical blue and white waves on the left-hand side, suggesting a brisk movement across the ocean. The color palette is composed of muted tones including shades of seafoam blue, white, off-white, and sepia for the ship's rigging and hull details. The piece is housed in a simple, mitered wooden frame, likely oak or a similar grain-heavy wood, finished with a medium honey-brown stain. The artwork appears to be a mass-produced lithograph or print from the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1960s-1980s), rather than an original watercolor or oil painting. Notable details include the intricate rendering of the rigging and multiple square sails. Regarding condition, there is visible yellowing/toning of the paper consistent with age and exposure to light. The frame shows minor scuffs and separation at the miter joints. There appear to be some small foxing spots or surface debris under the glass, and a faint signature or title is visible in the lower left quadrant among the waves, though it is not clearly legible from the image. The craftsmanship represents standard commercial decorative art of its era.
