EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Wasp, June 11, 1892,' transports us back in time to a bustling coastal scene in America during the late 19th century. The image, captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, showcases a regatta taking place on the water. In the foreground, a sloop named 'Wasp' leans precariously as it competes in the race, its sails taut against the wind. The boat is skillfully manned by a determined crew, their focused expressions conveying the intensity of the competition. In the background, a multitude of boats dot the horizon, creating a vibrant and dynamic tableau of activity. The geographical feature in the distance, likely a headland or promontory, adds depth and context to the scene. The photograph, published by Detroit Publishing Company, is a testament to the nautical heritage of the United States and the enduring allure of sailing as a sport. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to be the work of Edwin H. Husher or Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, two prominent photographers of the time. Regardless of the artist, this image stands as a powerful metaphor for the spirit of adventure, skill, and camaraderie that defined the era. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical American imagery and a reminder of the rich maritime history of our country.
