EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lobster, 1899 July 4," was taken by Johns Johnston during the late 19th century, specifically on July 4, 1899. The image beautifully captures a moment of leisure and relaxation in the United States, a time when people enjoyed the simple pleasures of the outdoors and the water. The scene is set on a serene body of water, likely a lake or a calm sea, with several sailboats anchored nearby. In the foreground, a man, identified as Edwin H. Husher, is seen in the act of catching a lobster from a small boat. He wears a white shirt and a hat, and holds a long pole with a hooked end, demonstrating the skill and patience required for lobster fishing. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American pastimes and activities, particularly those related to the water. The sailboats in the background suggest a day of sailing and yachting, which were popular sports during the era. The image also highlights the importance of the sea and geographical features in the lives of Americans, as they provided not only a source of livelihood but also a means of recreation and transportation. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, and was likely published by the Detroit Publishing Company. The company, which was known for its high-quality reproductions of American scenes, played a significant role in documenting and preserving the country's history and cultural heritage. Overall, "Lobster, 1899 July 4" is a stunning representation of a bygone era, a time when people connected with nature, each other, and their surroundings in a more intimate and authentic way.
