EDITORS COMMENTS
The 8 Metre Le Jade (H21) gracefully glides through the waters, showcasing its elegant design and impeccable craftsmanship. This stunning print captures a moment in history, as this magnificent sailing yacht sails in fine conditions back in 1912. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their expertise in boat building, this masterpiece showcases the skillful combination of art and engineering. The Le Jade (H21) is a true testament to the International Rule that governed yacht racing during that era. With its gaff rig and close-hauled position, the Le Jade demonstrates both power and precision. Its sleek lines cut through the water effortlessly as it embraces the wind with grace. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back to an era when sailing was not only a sport but also a symbol of elegance and sophistication. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been associated with yachting excellence. It is here that Kirk & Sons established their reputation for constructing exceptional vessels like Le Jade. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with sailboats - symbols of adventure, freedom, and human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Arthur Henry Kirk's collection, we are transported into an age where yachting represented both leisurely pursuits and fierce competition.
