EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph capturing the excitement and energy of a sailboat regatta on the calm waters of an American geographical feature. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston on July 15, 1899, this 8 x 10 inch dry plate negative depicts a moment of intense competition during the regatta, with several sailboats eagerly vying for the lead. The reflection of the sunny sky and surrounding landscape on the tranquil water adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The photograph was taken during the 19th century, a time when sailing was a popular pastime for both leisure and transportation in the United States. The boats in the image are docked at a country location, likely a popular spot for such events. The boats, with their sails fully hoisted, are ready to race against each other, their crews focused and determined. Among the boats, we can identify one named "Edwin H. Husher," and another, "William A. Livingstone." This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American sailing and the enduring appeal of water sports. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such events brought together communities and showcased the spirit of friendly competition. The reflection of the boats and their crews in the water adds a unique perspective to the image, making it a conceptually intriguing and visually captivating work of art. This photograph is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to its historical significance and artistic merit.
