EDITORS COMMENTS
Ursula, a Newport Catboat, 1895" is a captivating photograph by Johns Johnston, showcasing a leisurely day out on the water. The image, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a Newport catboat named Ursula gracefully sailing on the tranquil sea. The boat, with its distinctive flat-bottomed hull and cat-like rigging, is manned by two passengers, a man and a woman, dressed in fashionable attire of the era. The man, wearing a collared shirt, knitted tie, and trousers, holds the helm with a confident grip. The woman, elegantly dressed in a long, flowing dress with a parasol to shield herself from the sun, sits in the bow, her parasol propped up next to her. The parasols, a popular accessory for both men and women during this period, add a touch of sophistication to the scene. The geographical feature in the background, likely a shoreline or a small island, adds to the picturesque setting. The passengers seem to be enjoying their day trip, their relaxed expressions reflecting the joy of being out on the water. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, captures the essence of a pastime that was once a favorite among the American elite. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of sailing and fashion in America during the late 19th century. The image, taken by the renowned photographer Johns Johnston, is a timeless piece that continues to capture the imagination of viewers, transporting them back to a simpler time when a day out on the water was a cherished pastime.
