EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Papoose, June 17, 1887," captures a serene moment on a windy day along the shores of the United States. The image, taken on June 17, 1887, showcases a group of sailboats, or "papooses," as they were colloquially referred to, gracefully navigating the water. The sailboats, with their sails billowing in the wind, are leaning precariously, suggesting the skill and experience required to handle them in such conditions. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was likely taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common photographic technique during the nineteenth century. The photograph is part of the Norman Edward Dallimore Collection at the Library of Congress, which showcases a vast array of American landscapes and activities. The scene depicted in the photograph is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of sailing and being on the water were a popular pastime for many Americans. The image also highlights the importance of water transportation in the United States during this time period, as boats were a primary mode of transportation for both goods and people. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were prominent photographers during the late nineteenth century. Regardless of who captured this moment, it serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of the American waterways and the activities that have long been a part of their rich heritage.
