EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic sailing yacht Istria gracefully gliding downwind under its vibrant spinnaker in 1912. Designed by the renowned Charles Nicholson, Istria was originally owned by the esteemed architect Sir Charles Allom. The image offers a glimpse into the early 20th century, showcasing the elegance and beauty of this 15-meter cutter. The skilled photographer perfectly frames the view from the stern, allowing us to appreciate every detail of Istria's impressive gaff rig and sleek lines. The monochrome palette adds a timeless charm to this snapshot of maritime history. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes serves as an idyllic backdrop for this scene, with its picturesque coastal landscape enhancing the allure of sailing. As we admire Istria's flawless execution while running downwind, it becomes evident that she is not merely a vessel but rather a symbol of adventure and freedom on water. The Kirk family played an integral role in crafting this masterpiece; Edgar WP Kirk and his son William Umpleby Kirk were instrumental in bringing Nicholson's design to life at their shipyard in Cowes. Their dedication to craftsmanship shines through every inch of Istria's impeccable construction. This print encapsulates both artistry and history, inviting viewers to embark on a visual journey back to an era when sailboats like Istria ruled the seas with grace and style.
