EDITORS COMMENTS
Start for the Kings Cup yacht race, captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in the 20th century. This print showcases the thrilling moment when a fleet of majestic yachts set sail from the Isle of Wight, England. The image, taken by Arthur Henry Kirk or Edgar WP Kirk, exudes timeless elegance and captures the essence of competitive sailing. In this close-hauled view, we witness a big class cutter leading the pack with its gaff rig sails fully extended against a monochrome backdrop. The Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS) flag flutters proudly in the wind as these magnificent vessels embark on an exhilarating journey across open waters. The location is none other than Cowes, renowned for its rich maritime heritage and prestigious yacht races. As spectators line up along Lee Broadside to catch a glimpse of this spectacle, anticipation fills the air. This photograph not only celebrates sport but also pays homage to William Umpleby Kirk's craftsmanship at Kirk & Sons of Cowes – a prominent name synonymous with quality boat building. It serves as a testament to their contribution to water transport and yachting history. With its timeless appeal and captivating composition, this print is perfect for any sailing enthusiast or admirer of nautical beauty. A true collector's item that encapsulates both artistry and adventure.
