EDITORS COMMENTS
Bouncer, Spunk, Lobster, and Kazaza: A Quintessential Moment from the 1899 Detroit Regatta This photograph, titled 'Bouncer, Spunk, Lobster, and Kazaza, 1899 July 22,' is a stunning snapshot of a leisurely pastime in America during the late 19th century. The image, taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, depicts four sailors - Bouncer, Spunk, Lobster, and Kazaza - engaged in a friendly sailboat race on a serene body of water. The photograph was captured on July 22, 1899, during the Detroit Regatta, an annual sailing competition that attracted participants from all walks of life. The sailors, dressed in their Sunday best, are shown in high spirits as they navigate their boats through the water, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground and the sails billowing in the breeze. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of yachting and sailing in America during this era. The sailors represent a diverse mix of races, reflecting the multicultural fabric of the country. The boats, with their sleek designs and vibrant colors, add to the visual appeal of the image. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a common photographic technique during the late 19th century. The black and white image, with its high contrast and sharp details, transports us back in time to a simpler era when competition, camaraderie, and the beauty of nature were the order of the day. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, heritage art, or photography. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insights into the activities, pastimes, and social dynamics of the time. The image is now part of the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal.
