Verena, Chiquita, and Minerva: A Timeless Moment of Leisure on the American Coast, 1889 This photograph, titled "Verena, Chiquita, and Minerva," was captured on July 13, 1889, and the creator remains unknown. The image, a dry plate or glass negative, measures 8 x 10 inches, offering a detailed glimpse into the past. The scene unfolds on the picturesque coast of an unidentified location in the United States. Three women, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, are engaged in a leisurely activity, adding an air of tranquility and ease to the image. The women are identified as Verena, Chiquita, and Minerva. Verena, the woman on the left, stands with her back to the camera, gazing out at the serene water. Chiquita, in the middle, sits on the edge of a small sailboat, her hands delicately holding the sail as she looks up at Minerva. Minerva, the woman on the right, stands tall and confident, her arms outstretched to help guide the sailboat. The image is reminiscent of the nautical traditions of the time, with the women embodying the spirit of yachting and water transport. The sailboat, named Minerva, is anchored in the calm waters, providing a picturesque backdrop for the scene. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, was published by Detroit Publishing Company, as evidenced by the company's name stamped on the bottom right corner of the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography during the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of leisure, relaxation, and the simple pleasures of the sea.
