EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Norman Barnard transports us to the picturesque coastal town of Instow in North Devon. The image captures a serene moment on the River Torridge, where three majestic sailboats with vibrant red sails gracefully glide through the calm waters. Beyond them, a fleet of yachts with pristine white sails adds to the scenic beauty of this idyllic scene. The composition is nothing short of breathtaking, as it perfectly encapsulates the essence of seaside leisure and water transport in the 20th century. The juxtaposition between the bold red sails and their more traditional counterparts creates a visually striking contrast that immediately draws our attention. Instow's tranquil atmosphere is palpable through this photograph; one can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through their hair and hear the soothing sounds of lapping waves against boat hulls. It evokes a sense of freedom and adventure that only sailing can provide. Norman Barnard's skillful eye for detail has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. This image serves as a reminder of how sport and recreation have long been intertwined with our love affair with watercraft. Whether you are an avid sailor or simply an admirer of natural beauty, this print will undoubtedly transport you to another era, inviting you to embark on your own mental voyage along Instow's enchanting riverbanks.
