EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Volunteer, Goelet Cup Race, August 7, 1891," transports us back in time to an era of old-fashioned yachting and high-stakes competition. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, depicts the sailing vessel "Volunteer" as it cuts through the waves off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The Goelet Cup Race, a prestigious regatta, was in full swing on this August day in 1891. Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, two distinguished gentlemen of the time, are believed to be on board the Volunteer, their determined expressions suggesting a fierce determination to outmaneuver their competitors. The yacht, with its elegant lines and sleek design, glides effortlessly over the water, leaving a trail of white foam in its wake. The photograph, a dry plate or glass negative, showcases the beauty and grace of the yachting lifestyle during the nineteenth century. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of sailing as a sport and mode of transportation. The Library of Congress, a guardian of America's cultural and historical treasures, houses this remarkable photograph, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the art and history it represents.
