Intrepid, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph by Johns Johnston, capturing the essence of leisure and pastime during the 19th century in America. The image, taken as a dry plate negative using an 8 x 10 inch camera, depicts a schooner named "Intrepid" gracefully sailing on the open water. The boat, with its sails fully hoisted, cuts through the waves with ease, leaving a trail of white foam in its wake. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the country's maritime heritage and the popular pastime of sailing. The location of the shoot is not explicitly stated, but the vast expanse of water and the clear blue sky suggest a serene and picturesque setting. The "Intrepid," a beautiful sailboat, is shown in its element, transporting its passengers across the sea with the help of the wind. The boat's sleek design and the skill of its crew are evident in the way it navigates the water. The photograph also features other sailboats in the background, adding to the scene's charm and conveying a sense of community and shared enjoyment of the sport. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston, a skilled photographer known for his work documenting American life during the late 19th century. The image is a testament to the country's rich maritime history and the simple pleasures of sailing, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of heritage art. The photograph, titled "Intrepid, 1887," is a reminder of a bygone era, when the sea was a primary means of transportation and a source of relaxation and enjoyment for many Americans. The image, with its timeless quality, continues to captivate viewers and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American history.
