EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1894 built schooner Xarifa gracefully glides through the waters, captured in this stunning print from 1899. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, this image showcases the timeless beauty of a bygone era. With its gaff rig and windward broadside on full display, the Xarifa stands as a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic composition. The monochrome palette adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to the 19th century when sailing was not just a mode of transportation but also a beloved sport. Moored off the picturesque Isle of Wight in England, this majestic vessel exudes elegance against the backdrop of rolling hills and serene waters. Its sleek silhouette cuts through the waves with ease, symbolizing man's eternal quest to conquer nature's elements. The Xarifa represents more than just a boat; it embodies an entire country's passion for yachting and maritime heritage. Crafted under the watchful eye of Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk, this schooner is a true masterpiece that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of William Umpleby Kirk's unwavering dedication to his craft. This print serves as a tribute to his legacy while inviting us into an enchanting world where sailboats reign supreme.
