EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph, taken in 1893, captures the tension and excitement before the Columbian Naval Review boat race. The image, sourced from the Library of Congress, depicts boats from the navies of Brazil and France preparing for the competition. The Brazilian boat is visible at the front and rear of the photograph, while the vessel on the right is believed to be from the French navy. The boats are anchored in a body of water, likely in the United States or the Americas, with a group of men in uniforms and striped shirts on the deck, busy with last-minute preparations. The boats, with their sleek designs and powerful rigging, are a testament to the advanced naval technology of the time. The dry plate negative, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the historic event, which took place during the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The vignette also serves as a reminder of the importance of naval warfare and transportation in the late 19th century, as well as the camaraderie and teamwork among the sailors as they prepared for the upcoming race.
