EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wasp, 1897 June 26," was taken by Johns Johnston during the late 1890s in the United States. The image showcases a thrilling sailing regatta, with the sleek sloop named "Wasp" proudly leading the pack. The serene, glassy water reflects the sun-kissed sky, as the boats glide effortlessly across the tranquil expanse. The scene is set against a picturesque geographical backdrop, with the undulating hills and lush greenery of the American countryside in the background. The boats, including the Wasp, are expertly maneuvered by their crews, showcasing their skill and determination in the competitive race. The Wasp, with its elegant design and powerful sails, stands out among the other sailboats, embodying the spirit of adventure and leisurely pursuits of the era. This photograph, captured on a dry plate negative glass measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States during the nineteenth century. The image, now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the country's history and cultural traditions. The Wasp, with its white hull and black sails, symbolizes the unity and diversity of the American people, as the boats in the regatta represent a mix of white and black crews. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Johns Johnston, is a stunning example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
