EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Kit, 1897 June 29" by Johns Johnston, transports us back to the late 19th century in America. The image showcases a young boy, Kit, engrossed in an idyllic pastime as he sails a small sailboat on a serene body of water. The tranquil scene is set against the backdrop of a picturesque geographical feature, possibly a lake or a quiet bay. Johnston, an accomplished photographer of the era, expertly captured the essence of leisure and enjoyment during this period in American history. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative process on glass, 8 x 10 inches in size. The intricate details of the sailboat, the boy's attire, and the surrounding landscape are a testament to Johnston's skill and mastery of the medium. The image is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of art and history, now housed in the Library of Congress. It offers a glimpse into the past, where the simple pleasure of sailing was a cherished activity for many Americans. The photograph also underscores the importance of water transport and transportation during this era, as boats were a primary means of travel and transportation. The photograph's title, "Kit, 1897 June 29," provides a specific date and name, adding to its historical significance. The image is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of the past and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors.
