EDITORS COMMENTS
Minnetonka, Cora, Lark, and Lobster: A Quintessential 1898 July 4th Scene Captured by Johns Johnston This evocative photograph, titled "Minnetonka, Cora, Lark, and Lobster," transports us back to the 1890s in America. Taken on July 4, 1898, by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, the image captures a leisurely scene of four individuals engaged in a friendly sailing competition on a tranquil body of water. The image features Cora, Lark, and Minnetonka, three women dressed in elegant summer attire, and a man identified as Lobster, all seated in dinghies, or small boats, as they prepare for a sailboat race. The boats, adorned with colorful sails, are docked near the shore, with a picturesque landscape of trees and a distant yacht anchored in the background. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches, and is a testament to the pastimes and activities that defined the late 19th century in America. The image is a valuable addition to the heritage art collection, showcasing the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the simple pleasures of the outdoors. Johns Johnston, a prolific photographer, captured this moment in time, providing us with a glimpse into the history and culture of the United States during the late 19th century. The image, now part of the Library of Congress collection, is a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
