Eidolon, 1895 June 15
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph by Johns Johnston capturing the excitement of a sailboat regatta on the waters of the United States. The image, taken on June 15, 1895, depicts several sailboats, including a sloop and a yacht, skillfully navigating the open water. The boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, create a dynamic and lively scene. The photograph was taken during a time when sailing was a popular pastime for the American elite, and regattas were a source of friendly competition and social gatherings. The boats in the photograph appear to be racing against each other, their hulls cutting through the water as they vie for the lead. The location of the regatta is not explicitly stated in the photograph, but the geographical feature in the background suggests a body of water with a sandy shoreline. The boats are surrounded by open water, with the sun casting long shadows over the scene. Johns Johnston, a skilled photographer of the 19th century, captured this moment in time using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. His expertise in photography is evident in the sharp detail and contrast of the image. The photograph is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to its historical significance. The photograph also highlights the racial diversity of the time, with both white and black sailors participating in the regatta. The boats in the photograph are a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of sailing as a leisure activity. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the simple joy of being on the water.
