EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1912, we witness a thrilling race between two majestic sailing yachts - the 7 Metre class Anitra (K4) and Ginevra (K7). As they gracefully glide downwind, their Bermuda rigs catch the wind's power, propelling them forward with incredible speed. The intense competition is palpable as these magnificent vessels showcase their agility and skill on the water. The image captures a moment frozen in time during an era when yacht racing was at its peak. The Isle of Wight's picturesque Cowes serves as the backdrop for this exhilarating event, where sailors from different countries gather to test their mettle against one another. This particular race adheres to the International Rule, attracting enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. With monochrome tones adding a touch of nostalgia, we are transported back to a bygone century where sailing was not just a sport but also an expression of elegance and sophistication. The Kirk brothers - Arthur Henry and Edgar WP - have masterfully captured this scene through their lens, showcasing their talent for capturing both action and beauty. This remarkable print is more than just an artistic portrayal; it is a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's elements for transportation and recreation. It reminds us that even amidst fierce competition, there can be harmony as these sailboats dance across the waves with precision and grace.
