EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Johns Johnston, showcasing the excitement and thrill of a sailboat regatta in America during the late 1890s. The image, captured on a dry plate negative glass measuring 8 x 10 inches, depicts several sailboats and dinghies gathered at the starting line of a race. The boats, with their sails fully hoisted, are poised and ready to embark on the competition, their crews focused and determined. The geographical feature in the background, likely a body of water in the United States, adds to the serene and picturesque setting of the scene. The boats, both sailboats and dinghies, dot the water, creating a beautiful contrast against the clear blue sky. The photograph captures the essence of leisure and pastime activities that were popular during the 19th century in America. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and history of yachting and sailing in the United States. It is believed that the race took place in Detroit, Michigan, as the Detroit Publishing Company, which published and distributed the photograph, was based in that city. The photograph features several notable figures of the time, including Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, who are seen in the foreground, likely preparing to set off in their boats. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of sailing and boat racing during the late 1890s in America. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of water transport and the joy of competition, which continue to be popular pastimes to this day. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and value as a work of art.
