EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre class Mariquita gracefully glides downwind, showcasing the epitome of elegance and craftsmanship in sailing. This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the year 1913 when this magnificent yacht was at its prime. Designed by the renowned William Fife III, Mariquita stands as a testament to his genius. Amongst her peers, she is the sole survivor of the six 19-metre class yachts ever built. With her sleek lines and gaff rig sails proudly billowing in the wind, Mariquita exudes an aura of timeless beauty. The skilled hands behind this remarkable image are Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Edgar WP Kirk and Arthur Henry Kirk expertly captured Mariquita's splendor against the backdrop of England's Isle of Wight. Their monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of a glorious era but also of our enduring connection with water transport and sporting endeavors like yachting. The International Rule governing these majestic vessels ensured fair competition while pushing boundaries for innovation. Let us cherish this rare glimpse into a bygone age when sailing was both an art form and a thrilling sport. May Mariquita continue to inspire generations with her gracefulness on water.
