EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Wasp, August 5, 1892,' showcases a confident and easeful scene along the American coast. The image, taken as a dry plate or glass negative, depicts a sailing sloop named Wasp, skillfully navigating the tranquil waters. The boat, with its elegant design and sleek lines, is reminiscent of the Herreshoff N.G. design, attributed to Nathanael Greene Herreshoff. The photograph, dated August 5, 1892, was likely taken near Detroit Publishing Company's location, as the company was renowned for its high-quality photographic reproductions of American landscapes and nautical scenes. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of activity, as other boats can be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The Wasp, with its sails fully hoisted and billowing in the wind, appears to be in full control, gliding effortlessly through the water. The people on board exude a sense of calm and assurance, embodying the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the late 19th century in America. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American maritime history and the enduring allure of the sea. The image invites us to imagine the stories of those on board and the journeys they embarked upon, transporting us back in time to a simpler era.
