EDITORS COMMENTS
O Shima San," captured by American photographer Johns Johnston in approximately 1899, presents a serene and picturesque scene of leisurely sailing off the coast of the United States. The black and white dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image portrays a group of sailors skillfully maneuvering their sailboats amidst the tranquil blue waters. The geographical feature in the background, likely O'Shaughnessy Island or another unidentified location, adds to the sense of adventure and exploration. Johnston, an accomplished photographer, expertly documents the pastime of sailing, which was a popular recreational activity among Americans during this era. The sailors appear focused and in sync with their boats, their determined expressions reflecting their enjoyment of the sport. The sailboats, with their sails fully hoisted, cut through the water effortlessly, leaving a gentle wake behind them. This photograph, published by Detroit Publishing Company through their subsidiary, Edwin H. Husher, is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress. It serves as a valuable historical record of a bygone era, showcasing the beauty of America's waterways and the simple pleasures of sailing. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate viewers and inspire a sense of wanderlust and appreciation for the natural world. William A. Livingstone, another notable figure in the history of photography, also documented the sailing scene during this period, further emphasizing the cultural significance of this pastime in American society. The image, "O Shima San," stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the joy of sailing, making it an essential addition to any collection of heritage art or Americana.
