Wasp and Queen Mab: A Timeless Rivalry on the American Waters, 1894 This photograph, titled 'Wasp and Queen Mab,' was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston on September 22, 1894. The image, a dry plate negative glass measuring 8 x 10 inches, showcases an exhilarating moment during a regatta on the United States' waters. The photograph depicts two sailboats, the Wasp and the Queen Mab, engaged in a fierce competition. The Wasp, a sleek and powerful sloop, is seen in the foreground, its white sails billowing in the wind. In the background, the Queen Mab, a graceful yacht, follows closely, her black hull and white sails creating a striking contrast against the blue water. The setting for this thrilling race is not identified in the photograph, but the serene geographical feature in the background suggests a tranquil body of water, perhaps a lake or a calm sea. The boats are surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the picturesque scene. The regatta, a popular pastime during the 19th century in the United States, brought together competitors from all walks of life. The Wasp and Queen Mab, with their distinct designs and colors, represent the diversity and camaraderie that characterized these events. The photograph, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American leisure activities and the spirit of friendly competition that continues to thrive in the United States. This timeless image, captured by Johns Johnston, encapsulates the beauty and excitement of sailing on the American waters.
