EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 10-rater cutter Almida, crafted in 1912 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The image takes us back to the roaring twenties, where this stunning sailing boat gracefully glides through the waters off the Isle of Wight. With its gaff rig and close-hauled position, Almida demonstrates both elegance and power. The craftsmanship of Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk is evident in every detail of this vessel. William Fife III's design expertise shines through as well, making Almida a true masterpiece of engineering. As we admire this monochrome scene, we can almost feel the wind on our faces and hear the gentle lapping of water against her hull. Almida's Lee broadside reveals her strength as she confidently sails under full canvas. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an era when sailing boats like these were symbols of adventure and exploration. Transporting us to a bygone era, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when sailboats ruled the seas. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern transportation methods, there is still beauty in traditional forms of travel. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, this print celebrates not just one boat but also pays homage to the skilled artisans who brought it to life over a century ago.
