EDITORS COMMENTS
Robin Hood," captured by Johns Johnston on July 22, 1899, is a stunning photograph depicting a sailor skillfully maneuvering a sailboat in the tranquil waters of an American lake or sea. The image, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was taken during the late 19th century, a time when sailing was a popular pastime for the leisure class in the United States. The sailboat, with its elegant sails billowing in the wind, cuts through the water with grace and precision. The boat's sleek design and the skill of its handler are on full display as it glides effortlessly over the surface. In the background, the geographical feature of the location is subtly hinted at by the presence of trees and a distant shoreline. Johns Johnston, a renowned photographer of the era, expertly captured the essence of the moment, the interplay of man and nature, and the beauty of the American landscape. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of the country's maritime history and the enduring appeal of sailing as a leisure activity. This photograph, part of the Edwin H. Husher collection at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of a bygone era when the simple pleasures of sailing and the great outdoors held a special allure for many Americans. The image, with its timeless quality and evocative power, continues to captivate viewers and transport us to a different place and time. The photograph was taken during a period when Detroit Publishing Company, under the leadership of William A. Livingstone, was at the forefront of producing and distributing high-quality photographic images of the United States. This photograph, with its exceptional clarity and detail, is a testament to the company's commitment to preserving the country's rich heritage and making it accessible to a wider audience.
