Tillie, 1892 June
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Johns Johnston, capturing a leisurely scene of activity on the waterfront of the United States during the late 19th century. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was taken as a dry plate negative, depicts a group of people gathered around a sailboat named "Tillie." The sailboat, with its full sail billowing in the wind, is anchored near a steam yacht and several other sailboats, suggesting a company of boating enthusiasts enjoying a day on the water. The photograph, which is part of the collection at the Library of Congress, was taken in Detroit, Michigan, and showcases the picturesque geographical features of the area. The image is filled with a sense of heritage and pastime, as people in their Sunday best gather to enjoy the simple pleasures of sailing and spending time on the water. The steam yacht in the background, with its raised ensign and American flag, adds a sense of prestige and standard to the scene, while the smaller sailboats, including "Tillie," demonstrate the accessibility of the sport to a broader audience. The photograph also features a banner with the words "Detroit Publishing Co." visible in the background, further contextualizing the image within the commercial and industrial landscape of the time. Overall, "Tillie, 1892 June" is a stunning representation of American life during the late 19th century, showcasing the beauty of the natural world, the joy of leisure activities, and the sense of community that came with shared pastimes. The photograph remains a valuable piece of heritage art, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a reminder of the simple pleasures that continue to bring people together today.
