EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic cutter Citara under full sail, accompanied by a tender boat in tow. Taken in 1911 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this image beautifully captures the essence of early 20th-century sailing. The Citara, with its gaff rig and topsail, is seen gracefully navigating through the waters off the Isle of Wight. The close-hauled position reveals its impressive maneuverability as it cuts through the windward quarter. The skilled crew on board can be imagined expertly handling the sails to harness every gust of wind. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing both the beauty and power of these sailing vessels. It transports us back to an era when boats were not only means of transportation but also symbols of adventure and exploration. Located in England's picturesque Cowes region, known for its rich maritime history, this scene perfectly encapsulates the country's deep connection with water transport. The craftsmanship exhibited by Kirk & Sons is evident in every detail captured within this frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk's collection, we are reminded that even today, sailing continues to evoke a sense of freedom and tranquility amidst nature's elements.
