EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century, immersing us in the beauty of a bygone era. The sailing yacht Istria, designed by Charles Nicholson and originally owned by renowned architect Sir Charles Allom, graces the waters off Cowes with its elegant presence. Captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this monochrome masterpiece showcases the artistry and craftsmanship that defined this period. With its gaff rigging proudly displayed against a breezy backdrop, Istria sails close-hauled as it navigates through England's Isle of Wight. The skilled hands of Captain William Umpleby Kirk expertly maneuver the cutter while his brother Edgar WP Kirk captures this timeless moment for posterity. The photograph not only highlights the sheer grandeur of Istria but also pays homage to her creators - Charles Ernest Nicholson and Arthur Henry Kirk. Their collaboration resulted in a vessel that seamlessly blended form and function. As we gaze at this remarkable image frozen in time, we are transported to an age when sailboats ruled the seas. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with water transport and how it has shaped our history. Let yourself be carried away on an imaginary voyage aboard Istria as you marvel at her gracefulness amidst wind and waves – a testament to man's eternal quest for adventure on uncharted waters.
