EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Benjamin Johnston's captivating photograph "Rough Riders on Horseback in Water at Montauk Point, 1898" transports us back in time to the 1890s in the United States. This evocative image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases a group of Rough Riders, the legendary cavalry unit of the US Army, taking a break at a watering hole during their expedition to Montauk Point, Long Island. The horses, their coats glistening with water, drink thirstily from the lake, while their riders, dressed in their military uniforms, gaze out at the horizon. The rugged terrain and the vast expanse of water in the background add to the sense of adventure and exploration. Johnston, a renowned American photographer, expertly captures the raw beauty of the natural setting and the unyielding spirit of the Rough Riders, who had made history just a year prior by participating in the Spanish-American War. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the country's rich heritage but also as a reminder of the enduring bond between man and horse.
