EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Aurora, Newport, 1899 Aug 3," captures the picturesque scene of Newport, Rhode Island, in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, the image showcases the serene beauty of the harbor, dotted with sailboats and steam yachts, as they gracefully navigate the calm waters. The steam yacht "Aurora" is prominently featured in the foreground, its elegant design and tall smokestack a testament to the wealth and status of its owners. The sailboats, with their sails billowing in the gentle breeze, add a sense of leisurely activity and pastime to the scene. The image also highlights the country's rich maritime heritage, with the geographical feature of the harbor and the surrounding landscape adding to the sense of tranquility and natural beauty. This photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was captured during a time when transportation on water was a popular means of travel and transport for the affluent. The image, which is part of the Edwin H. Husher Collection at the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a fascinating insight into the activities and pastimes of America during the 1890s.
