William Umpleby Kirk
William Umpleby Kirk (1843 - 1928) was a pioneer photographer of the late Victorian period. He was born in Hull and grew up in nearby Market Weighton where, in the early 1870s, he set up his first photographic studio. Examples of his work from that period have survived and are collected.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280839886060&_trksid=p2992.m753#ht_500wt_1182 )〕 In 1881 Kirk moved his family and his business to Cowes, Isle of Wight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.childsweb.talktalk.net/studios/kirk.htm )〕 Cowes at that time was the international centre of yachting, the sport of royalty, the rich and the privileged. At Cowes yachts were raced, bought, sold and shown off. The rich and the titled came to Cowes to meet each other, to play and to be seen. Kirk photographed the boats and their owners afloat and ashore. He specialised in marine photographs, in portraiture ''e.g'' a copy of Kirk's photograph of The Marquis of Ormonde is held in the British National Archives at Kew.〔"The National Archives, Kew, London. ''Ref COPY 1/419/270''〕 He photographed groups at house parties, tutor groups and sports teams of Naval Cadets at Osborne Naval College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sites.google.com/site/cbtmuseum/photographic )〕 His photographs of the sumptuous interiors of large yachts remain to record that era.〔
Kirk's reputation grew when he photographed Queen Victoria's yacht HMY Alberta at a speed of 10 knots entering Cowes Harbour; this is said to be one of the first British photographs of a vessel in motion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cowesyachtphotos.com/html/w_u_kirk.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.friendsofnorthwoodcemetery.org.uk/FoNC/history/wukirk.htm )〕 and to have earned him the Royal Warrant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://issuu.com/all-at-sea/docs/aas1103_e-version/search?q=kirk )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thedailysail.com/inshore/11/58037/0/60th-anniversary-round-the-island-photo-exhibition )〕 Photographs by Kirk of the yachts ''Bona'' and ''Ailsa'', for example, were sold by auction at Christie's, New York〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4328270 )〕 and his work is sought by collectors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arcadja.com/auctions/en/umpleby_kirk_william/artist/341457/ )〕
A collection of Kirk's work is held by the Isle of Wight County Council and is reviewed by Ian Dear.〔 An extensive, but as yet uncatalogued collection of Kirk's original 8" x 10" glass plates is held by the Gallery, Classic Boat Museum, East Cowes.〔
