Signed lower right and dated '90. Both the Cetonia and Meteor IV were prestigious pre-WWI racing schooners, celebrated for their exceptional performance in competitive sailing. Meteor IV, the fourth yacht owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II, was designed by renowned naval architect Max Oetz and launched in 1909. With its sleek lines and cutting-edge technology for the time, it embodied the opulence and ambition of imperial sailing. Cetonia, originally named L'Esperance, was crafted by the esteemed shipyard Camper & Nicholson and designed by J.M. Soper. This elegant vessel showcased innovative design features and was notable for its speed and agility on the water. Both schooners competed fiercely for the King's Cup, representing the pinnacle of yacht racing during that era. Their rivalry highlighted the sophistication and spirit of competition that characterized early 20th-century sailing.
