EDITORS COMMENTS
Istria, The Lady Anne, & Vanity racing upwind, 1912. This print captures a thrilling moment in sailing history. The three magnificent yachts - Istria, The Lady Anne, and Vanity - are seen gracefully slicing through the wind as they compete against each other on the open waters. Designed by renowned naval architects William Fife and Charles Nicholson respectively, these sleek vessels showcase the epitome of early 20th-century sailboat design. With their gaff rigging and elegant lines, they embody both beauty and speed. The race takes place off the coast of Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England. As spectators watch from afar, these impressive boats demonstrate their prowess in this exhilarating sport. The weather conditions seem challenging with strong winds creating choppy waves that test the skills of both sailors and vessels alike. Captured by Sir Charles Carrick Allom's lens with an artistic monochrome touch, this photograph transports us back to a time when sailing was not only a means of transportation but also a highly competitive sport. It showcases the dedication and craftsmanship put into building these majestic yachts by Kirk Sons of Cowes. This stunning image serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with water transport and our ongoing quest for adventure on the high seas.
