EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the elegant Bloodhound, a 40-ton cutter designed by renowned naval architect William Fife in 1874. Owned by the esteemed Marquis of Ailsa, this magnificent sailing yacht had an illustrious racing career during its prime years between 1909 and 1914. Moored gracefully in the River Solent near Cowes on the Isle of Wight, Bloodhound proudly displays her flags as a symbol of her nautical prowess. The skilled craftsmanship behind her construction is evident in every detail, from her gaff rig to her sleek monochrome silhouette against the tranquil waters. The Kirk & Sons of Cowes are credited for immortalizing this moment through their lens.
