This is a celebration of the traditions of the nautical lifestyle and a siren song to the American pursuit of going to sea.“\u003cb\u003eMind-expanding books for Christmas 2023\u003c\/b\u003e. This compendium of Morris Rosenfeld’s black-and-white maritime photography brings to life America’s golden age of yachting in all its salty-spume and billowing-sails glory. These were the early days of photography and of sailing for leisure, and Rosenfeld brought the two together, apparently able to capture motion itself: the clean shapes of the glorious yachts, their pristine sails catching the wind to speed man through the ocean, leaving frothy tumult in their wake. Rosenfeld’s work (and that of his sons) inspired later generations to sail, including this book’s author, Nick Voulgaris III, Ted Turner (a self-appointed Ocean Elder) and the Disney chief executive Robert Iger, who offer their musings. But the main attractions here are the images: of sailing boats, motorboats and healthy all-American men, muscles taut as they heave ropes and balance on the edge of mahogany hulls that cleave the sparkling sea. Man and nature in harmony and at play.” — The Times (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this stunning book, Nick Voulgaris has chronicled the extraordinary beauty of the golden age of sailing as seen through the photographic images in the Rosenfeld Collection of maritime photography. The Rosenfelds had an unparalleled eye for the light, motion, and drama of sailing, elegantly presented in this exquisite book.” — Dr. Margaret L.
