EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Shark, 1897 June 29," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston during the late 19th century. The image depicts a serene scene on the water, with several sailboats gracefully bobbing on the gentle waves. The boats, including a sloop and a yacht, are anchored near a rocky outcropping, creating a picturesque tableau of American maritime leisure. The photograph was taken on June 29, 1897, in an unspecified location in the United States. The boats appear to be moored in a quiet cove, surrounded by lush greenery and the vast expanse of the sea. The sailboats, with their sails furled, seem to be at rest, as if waiting for their crews to return from a day of sailing or fishing. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative process on glass, specifically a 8 x 10 inch format. Johns Johnston's mastery of this technique is evident in the sharp detail and tonal range of the image. The boats' wooden hulls and sails are rendered with remarkable clarity, while the water shimmers with the reflections of the surrounding landscape. The photograph is a testament to the pastime of sailing, which was a popular activity for Americans during the late 19th century. The image also serves as a reminder of the country's rich maritime heritage and the importance of water transportation in shaping the nation's history. This photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress, and was likely published by Edwin H. Husher or the Detroit Publishing Company. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, and is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era of American history.
