EDITORS COMMENTS
Amorita, 1899 July 4: A Scene of Leisure and Sailing on the American Waterfront This photograph, titled "Amorita, 1899 July 4," captures a moment of relaxation and enjoyment on the waterfront of the United States during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image portrays a serene scene of various sailboats and schooners anchored in a calm body of water. The boats, with their sails furled, create a picturesque tableau against the backdrop of a clear blue sky and the green, rolling hills in the distance. The image, which is part of the Edwin H. Husher Collection at the Library of Congress, depicts a popular pastime of the era – sailing. The boats in the photograph represent various types, from small sailboats to larger schooners, all gathered together in the spirit of camaraderie and enjoyment. The image also highlights the importance of water transport in the United States during this period, as boats were a primary means of transportation for both goods and people. The location of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the image exudes a sense of American heritage and tradition. The boats in the photograph are reminiscent of the classic American schooners that once dominated the seas, and the scene could easily be found in any coastal town during the late 1800s. Overall, "Amorita, 1899 July 4" is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of a bygone era, one that captures the essence of a simpler time when the pleasures of the water and the company of friends were the focus of a day's activities.
