Punch and Edwina - A Day at the Regatta, July 5, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Punch and Edwina," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston on July 5, 1897. The image, now a precious piece of heritage art, is a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, showcasing the leisurely activities of the time in the United States. The scene unfolds on the serene waters of a picturesque body of water, with a backdrop of lush greenery and a quaint geographical feature in the distance. Two sailboats, one manned by a lone figure named Edwin H. Husher, and the other by an unidentified crew, engage in a friendly sailing competition. The boats, with their sails billowing in the gentle breeze, cut through the water, leaving ripples in their wake. The excitement of the regatta is palpable as onlookers, including a distinguished gentleman named William A. Livingstone, observe the race from the shore. The event, a popular pastime during the 1890s in America, brought together people from all walks of life, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition. The contrast between the white and black sails against the blue sea and the green landscape creates a stunning visual tableau, a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the simpler pleasures of a bygone era. Johns Johnston, a master of his craft, expertly captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to marvel at the rich heritage of American history and the enduring appeal of sailing.
