Corsair, 1891 Oct 10
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph taken by Johns Johnston, capturing the essence of leisure and recreation during the late 19th century in America. The image depicts a sailboat, named Corsair, gracefully sailing on the tranquil water against the backdrop of a picturesque geographical feature. The sailboat, with its sails fully hoisted, cuts through the water with ease, leaving a gentle ripple in its wake. This photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a popular photographic technique of the time. The image is a testament to the advanced technology and artistic skill of the era. The sailboat, a symbol of affluence and freedom, was a popular pastime for the American elite. The photograph was taken on October 10, 1891, and the location is not explicitly stated, but the serene water and the absence of any industrial structures suggest a secluded and idyllic setting. The sailboat is dwarfed by a steamship in the background, highlighting the contrast between the old and the new modes of transportation. The photograph is a valuable addition to the heritage art collection, showcasing the rich maritime history of the United States. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the pastime and activities that defined the American way of life during the 1890s. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston, a renowned photographer of the time, and is part of the collection of the Library of Congress. The photograph is a visual representation of the country's diverse and dynamic heritage, showcasing the beauty of the natural world, the ingenuity of technology, and the spirit of adventure that defined the American experience. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, maritime culture, or the art of photography.
