EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tomboy," dates back to the late 19th century, around 1880 to 1899. The image was captured in the picturesque harbor of Newport, Rhode Island, a renowned destination for yachting and sailing enthusiasts during this era. The Tomboy, a graceful yacht, is depicted in the foreground, proudly displaying her tall mast and sails, perfectly still and moored against the backdrop of the tranquil water. The yacht's name, "Tomboy," adds an intriguing element to the scene, suggesting a playful and rebellious spirit. The photograph showcases the rich maritime heritage of the United States during this period, with the yacht nestled between the coastline and the open sea. The image is believed to have been captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, a popular photographic technique during the late 1800s. The photographers' identities, however, remain unknown. The Tomboy's image is a testament to the sport of yachting's popularity during this time, with its allure drawing the attention of the wealthy and influential. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, maritime history, or photography, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the country's rich nautical heritage. This 8 x 10 inch photograph, with its stunning composition and timeless appeal, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of yachting, sailing, or the United States during the late 19th century. The image is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of the past and the enduring allure of the sea.
