EDITORS COMMENTS
Johns Johnston's captivating photograph, Dosoris 2, Qui Vive, and Dipper, taken on July 29, 1894, showcases a thrilling moment during a regatta on the waters of the United States. The image, which was captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, transports us back to the 1890s when sailing was a popular pastime for the American elite. Three sailboats, Dosoris 2, Qui Vive, and Dipper, can be seen in full sail, their spinnakers billowing in the wind. The boats are elegantly designed, their white sails contrasting against the dark waters, creating a stunning visual effect. The boats are racing against each other, their competitors determined to outmaneuver one another and cross the finish line first. The geographical feature in the background is not clearly discernible, but the image gives a sense of the vastness of the water and the openness of the American countryside. The boats are dotted against the horizon, adding to the sense of scale and grandeur. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston, a skilled photographer who captured the essence of the era's leisure activities. The image is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. The boats in the photograph, Dosoris 2, Qui Vive, and Dipper, are named after their owners, Edwin H. Husher, William A. Livingstone, and an unknown third party. The image is a reminder of a time when sailing was not just a means of transportation but a cherished activity that brought people together in friendly competition.
