Title: | Henry Winkelmann: untitled |
Publisher: | INZART/The University of Auckland Library=Te Tumu Herenga |
Abstract: | "This Henry Winkelmann photograph depicts a cutter (possibly the 'Ariki') under full sail on the Waitemata harbor, circa 1905. Boat racing was tremendously popular in Auckland in the early 1900s. Handsome monetary prizes were offered to winners, bookmakers took many a wager, and talk of racing filled the air at bars along the waterfront. Winkelmann was one of New Zealand's most widely known photographers in the early 20th Century, and had as much enthusiasm for yachting as he did for photography. He was intensely involved with the Auckland Yacht Club, and as many as half of his photographs were nautical in content." |
