EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and thrill of a Sloop (Dragon? class) sailing with its spinnaker in full display, dating back to approximately 1938. The image was expertly captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional photography skills during the early 20th century. The Sloop, with its Bermuda rigging and sleek design, glides gracefully through the waters off the Isle of Wight in England. Its sails billow majestically as it races against competitors in what appears to be a thrilling yacht race on The Solent. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from the thirties. It showcases not only the beauty of sailing but also highlights the craftsmanship involved in constructing such magnificent vessels. The photograph provides an intimate view from aboard the boat, allowing viewers to experience firsthand what it feels like to sail at high speeds downwind. With Lee bow cutting through waves effortlessly, this image perfectly encapsulates both sport and transportation on water. As we admire this stunning piece of maritime history captured by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk - members of the esteemed Kirk family - we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever; a testament to their skillful artistry behind the lens.
