EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lasca" by Johns Johnston, dates back to the 1890s and offers a glimpse into the pastime of sailing in America during the nineteenth century. The image, captured as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches and is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress. The photograph depicts a serene scene on the water, with several sailboats, including a schooner and a yacht, gracefully navigating the calm sea. The boats seem to be anchored near a picturesque geographical feature, possibly an inlet or a cove, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. The boats' sails are fully hoisted, billowing in the gentle breeze, creating a sense of motion and energy. The sailors appear to be engrossed in their activities, perhaps preparing for a race or simply enjoying a leisurely day on the water. The photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the popularity of sailing as a pastime during the late 1800s. The boats' classic designs and the idyllic setting transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the simple pleasures and joys of a bygone era. Johns Johnston, the photographer, expertly captures the essence of the scene, using his camera to document the beauty and allure of the water and the boats that grace it. The photograph is a stunning example of the artistry and skill of the photographers of the era and a valuable addition to the historical record of American history and culture.
