EDITORS COMMENTS
Fidelio and Hussar: A Scene of Leisure on the American Waterfront, 1898 This photograph, titled "Fidelio and Hussar," by Johns Johnston, depicts a serene moment on July 4, 1898, along the shores of the United States. The image, captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, transports us back to the 1890s, where we witness an idyllic scene of relaxation and enjoyment. Two boats, a sailboat named Fidelio and a hussar, are anchored in the calm waters, surrounded by lush greenery and a picturesque geographical feature. The sailboats, with their sails furled, are a testament to the popular pastime of sailing, which was a favorite activity for many Americans during this era. Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, likely members of a local yachting or sailing club, can be seen in the foreground, engaged in a friendly conversation. Their relaxed posture and attire suggest an afternoon well spent on the water, enjoying the sunshine and the company of like-minded individuals. This photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a precious reminder of the simple pleasures and pastimes of the 19th century. The image's timeless beauty and the sense of tranquility it evokes make it an invaluable addition to our heritage art collection.
