EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Infanta," was taken by Johns Johnston on July 22, 1896. The image depicts a serene scene of leisurely sailing on the water, with several sailboats gracefully cutting through the calm waves. The boats, with their full sails billowing in the gentle breeze, create a picturesque tableau against the backdrop of a tranquil body of water. The location of this idyllic setting is not explicitly stated, but the image's title suggests a connection to the United States, possibly in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan, where Johnston was based during this period. The boats in the photograph appear to be of the yachting variety, suggesting an affluent clientele enjoying a popular pastime of the time. The photograph was captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in process, a common technique for producing high-quality images during the late 19th century. The image's crisp details and tonal range are a testament to Johnston's skill as a photographer. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable heritage art piece that transports us to a bygone era of American history. It offers a glimpse into the past, when the simple pleasure of sailing on the water was a cherished activity for many.
