EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 23-metre cutter Astra sailing close-hauled in 1928. Designed by the renowned Charles E Nicholson for Adam Mortimer Singer, this impressive sailing yacht was a true masterpiece of its time. The craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident in every detail, as they brought Astra to life with their exceptional skills. The image captures the sheer elegance and power of Astra as she gracefully cuts through the water, her Bermuda rig billowing in the wind. With her sleek lines and impeccable design, she epitomizes the beauty and sophistication of early 20th-century yachting. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes served as a fitting backdrop for this extraordinary vessel. The Lee bow position highlights Astra's ability to navigate even challenging waters with ease. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where sailing was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. This photograph pays homage to both Mr. Adam Mortimer Singer's vision for his beloved yacht and Charles Ernest Nicholson's genius in bringing that vision to life. Whether you are an avid sailor or simply appreciate timeless beauty captured on film, this stunning print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and evoke a sense of wonder about our rich maritime heritage.
