EDITORS COMMENTS
The 23-metre cutter Astra, designed by Charles E Nicholson for Adam Mortimer Singer and launched in 1928, sails close-hauled in this print. Captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1934, the photograph showcases the elegance and power of this magnificent sailing yacht. Converted to a J-Class vessel in 1931, Astra exudes timeless beauty as it cuts through the water with its Bermuda rig. The breezy weather adds an element of excitement to the scene, highlighting the thrill of sailing on open waters. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes is renowned for its rich maritime history. It was here that Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk skillfully captured this momentous image. Their expertise shines through as they perfectly frame Astra's broadside view against a picturesque backdrop. The monochrome aesthetic enhances both the classic charm and dramatic atmosphere surrounding this historic sailboat. With William Umpleby Kirk behind the lens, every detail is meticulously preserved for future generations to appreciate. As we admire this stunning piece from our collection at Heritage Images, we are transported back to a bygone era when sailing yachts like Astra were symbols of luxury and adventure. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's elements for transportation across vast bodies of water.
