EDITORS COMMENTS
Drifting in tranquility amidst the enchanting twilight, this elegant yacht finds solace at rest on the serene waters off the Devon and Cornwall coasts. The peaceful scene is further accentuated by the reflection of the setting sun on the calm, glassy surface. In the distance, a flotilla of National 12 dinghies gracefully cuts through the water, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. The National 12, a two-person, two-sail racing dinghy, adds a dynamic element to the otherwise still seascape. The 1950s, a decade of innovation and adventure, come alive in this evocative image. The golden hour light bathes the scene in a warm, ethereal glow, casting long, languid shadows and adding depth to the composition. This photograph, taken in 1952, is part of a series of studies by renowned photographer Gilbert Adams, capturing the essence of sailing along the Devon and Cornwall coasts. Adams' keen eye for detail and composition, coupled with his mastery of light and shadow, result in a breathtaking image that transports us to a bygone era of coastal beauty and serenity.
