EDITORS COMMENTS
Start, Larchmont, 1894 Sept 15" is a stunning photograph capturing the excitement and energy of a sailboat regatta off the coast of Larchmont, New York, in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston on September 15, 1894, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 inch image offers a glimpse into the pastime of sailing, which was a popular leisure activity for the affluent classes during that era. The image showcases a close race between several sailboats as they navigate the waters, with the lead boat, "William A. Livingstone," boldly cutting through the waves, while others follow closely behind. The geographical feature of the coastline can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of place and time. The photograph, which is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, offers a unique window into American history and the country's rich maritime heritage. The boats, with their elegant sails and sleek designs, convey a sense of competition and camaraderie, as the sailors vied for the top spot in the regatta. Johnston's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the dynamic motion of the boats, make this photograph a true work of art. The contrast between the white sails and the dark water adds to the visual impact, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of sailing, America's pastimes, or the 19th century in general. Overall, "Start, Larchmont, 1894 Sept 15" is a captivating image that transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill of sailboat racing during the late 1800s.
