Carmita, 1897 June 26: A Captivating Scene of Yachting on the American Waterways This evocative photograph, titled 'Carmita' and taken by renowned American photographer Johns Johnston on June 26, 1897, captures a moment of leisure and competition on the water. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured using a dry plate negative process, depicts a vibrant regatta taking place on a serene body of water. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and picturesque geographical features, with several sailboats gracefully navigating the water. The boats, some manned by white crews and others by black, represent a diverse cross-section of the community coming together for a shared pastime. The yachts, with their sails billowing in the wind, create a striking contrast against the calm, reflective surface of the water. The photograph was taken during the late 19th century, a time when yachting and sailing were popular activities for the affluent classes in the United States. The Detroit Publishing Company, which published and distributed Johnston's work, captured the imagination of the American public with its stunning images of the country's natural beauty and vibrant social scenes. This photograph, with its rich heritage and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring allure of the water and the spirit of friendly competition that has long been a part of the American experience. It is a valuable addition to the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
