EDITORS COMMENTS
The beautiful schooner Cetonia gracefully sails through the waters, making good headway in 1911. Captured by the skilled lens of Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this print showcases the timeless elegance of a bygone era. The Cetonia, with its gaff rig and close-hauled position, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship that went into designing these magnificent sailing boats. The photograph transports us to England's Isle of Wight, where this stunning vessel was created by Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk. With William Umpleby Kirk also involved in its construction, it is evident that this family had a deep passion for boatbuilding. The Cetonia stands as a testament to their expertise. As we admire this monochrome image, we can almost feel the wind in our hair and hear the gentle lapping of water against her hull. The sight of her lee bow cutting through the waves evokes a sense of freedom and adventure. This print serves as a reminder of how sailboats like the Cetonia were once an essential mode of transportation on waterways worldwide. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an entire century's worth of history. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece from Heritage Images for its ability to transport us back to an age when sailing boats like the Cetonia reigned supreme.
