EDITORS COMMENTS
The 15 Metre Istria gracefully cuts through the waves, sailing close-hauled in this photo print. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1914, it captures the timeless beauty of this magnificent sailing yacht. Designed by Charles Nicholson and originally owned by renowned architect Sir Charles Allom, Istria embodies elegance and craftsmanship. With its gaff rig and sleek lines, the 15-metre cutter showcases a perfect blend of form and function. The skilled hands of Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk ensured that every detail was meticulously crafted to perfection. Located on the Isle of Wight in England, Cowes provided an idyllic backdrop for this nautical masterpiece. The monochrome composition adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to the early 20th century when sailing was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. As we gaze upon this remarkable vessel battling against the wind, we can almost feel the thrill experienced by those aboard. This print is more than just a depiction; it is an invitation to immerse oneself in history and appreciate both the artistry behind its creation as well as its significance within maritime heritage. A true testament to human ingenuity combined with nature's elements.
