Katrina, 1899 July 29
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph capturing a moment of leisure and relaxation during the late 1890s in the United States. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 inch image showcases a serene scene on the water. The photograph features several sailboats, including a schooner and a yacht, gracefully navigating the open water. The boats are dotted along the horizon, creating a picturesque tableau against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The sun casts a warm glow over the water, reflecting off the calm waves and adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The location of this scene is not explicitly stated, but the image exudes a sense of Americana, with the boats suggesting a coastal or inland waterway. The boats' sails are fully hoisted, indicating a brisk wind, and the water appears undisturbed, suggesting a peaceful day on the water. The photograph is a testament to the pastime of sailing, which was a popular activity during the 19th century. The boats in the photograph appear to be part of a company or group, as evidenced by the presence of several boats and the uniformity of their sails. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston for the Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for producing high-quality images of American landscapes and scenes for use in publications and advertising. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the simple pleasures and pastimes of the late 19th century. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, which holds an extensive archive of American heritage art and imagery. Overall, "Katrina, 1899 July 29" is a beautiful and evocative photograph that captures the essence of a bygone era and the timeless appeal of the water and the boats that sail upon it.
