Volunteer, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the essence of leisure and pastime in America during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 inch image showcases a sailboat named "Volunteer" gracefully sailing on the open water. The boat, with its furled sails, appears to be in the process of unfurling them, suggesting the boat is about to set sail once more. The image, which is part of the collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the country's rich maritime heritage. The boat, with its elegant design and sleek lines, is reminiscent of the yachts popular during that era. The water, dotted with other sailboats, adds to the serene and picturesque scene. The photograph was taken during a time when sailing was a popular pastime for the affluent and a means of transportation for many. The image is a testament to the beauty and allure of the sea and the joy of sailing that continued to captivate Americans throughout the 19th century. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the geography and location of the scene. The exact location is unknown, but the image's inclusion in the Library of Congress' collection suggests it may have been taken in the United States, possibly in the Great Lakes region or along the Eastern Seaboard. Overall, "Volunteer, 1894" is a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to a simpler era, when the pleasures of the sea and the freedom of sailing were cherished activities for many Americans. The photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of the water and the boats that have sailed upon it throughout history.
