EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing spectators eagerly watching yachts at Cowes, Isle of Wight. Taken in the early 20th century, between the 1910s and 1920s, this image was created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The scene unfolds on The Parade, a bustling street that runs along the seafront. As crowds gather along the avenue, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement, one can almost feel the palpable energy in the air. The vantage point offers a stunning view to sea as yachts gracefully navigate through the River Solent. Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk are credited for capturing this momentous spectacle. Their monochrome masterpiece beautifully portrays not only a sport but also an entire community united by their love for yachting. William Umpleby Kirk's contribution to this photograph cannot be overlooked either. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we catch glimpses of country lanes leading towards Cowes' geographical features - its river and strait. This vista serves as a reminder of England's rich maritime heritage. While it is unclear whether this image was intended for commercial use or simply meant to preserve history through artistry lensed by Kirk & Sons of Cowes; what remains undeniable is its ability to transport us back in time – allowing us to witness firsthand an extraordinary display witnessed by avid spectators at Cowes Yacht Week.
