EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Alert, 1894 Aug 11," captures the essence of leisure and pastime during the late 19th century in America. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, the image showcases a serene scene on the water, with several sailboats anchored near a schooner. The boats are docked at a quiet cove, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque geographical features. The boats, including a yacht and several sailboats, are a testament to the popularity of sailing as a sport and mode of transportation during this era. The schooner, with its distinctive rigging and tall masts, stands out as a symbol of the era's maritime heritage. The sailboats, with their sails furled, appear peaceful and still, as if waiting for the next opportunity to set sail. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass 8 x 10 inches, was published by Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for its high-quality reproductions of American scenes. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, when the pleasures of the great outdoors and the simple joy of sailing were cherished pursuits. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history of the United States and the enduring appeal of the water as a source of relaxation and recreation.
