EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in black and white, this print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the christening group for the Yugoslavian Bakar. The year is 1931, and we find ourselves at J Samuel White and Co shipyard in Cowes, Isle of Wight. The image showcases a diverse gathering of individuals who have come together to witness this ceremonial event. Men donning their finest coats stand alongside elegantly dressed women, while children add an air of innocence and excitement to the scene. The shipyard workers proudly display their craftsmanship as they surround the magnificent vessel. Amidst this crowd stands Arthur Henry Kirk, accompanied by his son Edgar WP Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk - three generations united on this memorable day. Their dedication to shipbuilding is evident as they oversee every detail with pride. A sense of anticipation fills the air as a lady holds a bouquet of flowers ready for the christening ritual. A bottle stands nearby, symbolizing tradition and good fortune for all who sail aboard this passenger ship. This photograph not only captures a specific moment but also represents unity between nations; it serves as a testament to Croatia's connection with Yugoslavia during that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time - witnessing not just an event but also glimpsing into an entire era defined by innovation, craftsmanship, and community.
