EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph captured by Johns Johnston, showcasing a serene moment of leisurely sailing on the American waterfront during the late 19th century. The image, taken on June 15, 1895, depicts a lone sailboat gracefully cutting through the calm waters of an unidentified body of water. The sailboat, with its full sail billowing in the gentle breeze, appears to be a yacht, suggesting an affluent pastime for the owner. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative using an 8 x 10 inch glass, offers a glimpse into the idyllic lifestyle of the time. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility and escape, as the sailor navigates the boat with ease, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the land. The photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, offers a unique perspective into the geography and heritage of the United States during the late 19th century. The image, taken by Johns Johnston, a renowned photographer of the time, is a testament to the beauty and allure of the American waterways and the leisurely pursuits of the era. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the transportation methods of the time, with sailboats serving as a primary means of water transport. The image, titled "Houri," is a reminder of the simple pleasures of the past and the enduring appeal of the water and sailing. The photograph, with its rich historical significance and artistic merit, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, geography, or the art of photography. The image, taken by Johns Johnston, is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
