EDITORS COMMENTS
The Russian Imperial Yacht Standart at Cowes, 1909. This print captures a moment in history when the grandeur of the Russian Imperial family graced the shores of England during Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight. The magnificent Standart, commissioned by Emperor Alexander III and constructed at Burmeister & Wain shipyard in Denmark, takes center stage as it majestically anchors off the coast of Cowes. In this image expertly captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, we witness a regal spectacle unfold. The impressive yacht proudly displays its flags while surrounded by other boats participating in the exhilarating races that define Cowes Week. The presence of Emperor Nicholas II and Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich adds an air of prestige to this already awe-inspiring scene. The monochrome tones lend a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to an era where steam yachts ruled the waters. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of the opulence enjoyed by royalty but also their love for sportsmanship and adventure. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both craftsmanship and historical significance. It is a window into a time when nations converged through sport and leisurely pursuits amidst breathtaking maritime landscapes.
