EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Start, October 9, 1893," was captured by Henry Greenwood Peabody and is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the America's Cup, one of the oldest and most prestigious sailing competitions in the world. The image depicts the start of the race off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, with several sleek yachts positioned at the starting line, ready to begin their journey across the water. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the Narragansett Bay, with the shoreline and geographical features visible in the distance. Among the competitors is the yacht "Columbia," designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, which went on to win the race that year. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, a common photographic technique of the 19th century. The America's Cup has a rich history, with the first race taking place in 1851. The event has since become a symbol of maritime excellence and national pride, with the trophy remaining in the possession of the winning team until the next competition. This photograph, taken over a century ago, captures the essence of the America's Cup as a test of skill, determination, and innovation, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of sailing and the sea. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection and is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of sailing, the America's Cup, or the evolution of photography as an art form.
