Bonnie Doon
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1890-1900) by Johns Johnston: A Timeless Moment of Leisure and Camaraderie on the American Waterfront This photograph, titled "Bonnie Doon," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston between 1890 and 1900. The image transports us back to a simpler time in American history, where the beauty of nature and the joy of community came together in the form of a regatta. Set against the backdrop of a tranquil body of water, this 8 x 10 inch dry plate glass negative depicts a bustling scene of activity. Men in various stages of preparation gather on the shore, some tending to their sailboats while others engage in lively conversation. The boats themselves, with their elegant sails billowing in the breeze, add a sense of grace and elegance to the scene. The location of this idyllic moment remains a mystery, but the image carries a distinctly American feel. The diverse group of sailors, both white and black, reflect the rich tapestry of the country's population at the turn of the century. The sense of friendly competition is palpable, as the men prepare for a day of sailing and racing on the water. This photograph, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, is a testament to the pastime of sailing and the enduring appeal of the waterfront. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life were cherished and celebrated. The legacy of Johns Johnston's work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the beauty and wonder of our shared history.
