EDITORS COMMENTS
Ariel, 1899 July 4" is a stunning photograph captured by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, showcasing a lively regatta on the waters of the United States. The image, taken in the late 19th century, captures the essence of American leisure and pastime during this era. The photograph depicts a number of sailboats, including schooners and yachts, gracefully navigating the water against the backdrop of a picturesque geographical feature. The boats, filled with eager competitors, race against each other, their sails billowing in the wind. The scene exudes a sense of excitement and camaraderie, as onlookers gather on the shore to cheer on their favorite vessels. Johnston expertly captures the spirit of the moment, using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in to create this breathtaking image. The contrast between the white sails and the dark water, along with the black and white palette, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. The location of the regatta is not specified, but the image is a testament to the popularity of sailing as a sport and mode of transportation during the late 1800s. The event likely drew participants from all walks of life, as evidenced by the diverse mix of boats and crew members, some of whom are depicted in the photograph. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of American culture. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of this iconic image.
