EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The New Jersey, N[ew] Rochelle, 1890," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston. The image transports us back in time to the 1890s, a period of leisure and relaxation in America. The scene unfolds on the picturesque shores of New Jersey, N[ew] Rochelle, where the tranquil waters of the river meet the horizon. A diverse group of men, dressed in their Sunday best, gather on the banks of the river. They watch intently as a sailor skillfully maneuvers a sailboat into the water. The boat's crisp white sails billow in the gentle breeze, while the steam yacht, "New Jersey," anchored in the background, adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The men represent a cross-section of society, from the well-dressed gentleman in a top hat and coat to the working-class man in overalls. Their shared interest in the water transport activity brings them together, creating a sense of camaraderie and community. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a common technique during the nineteenth century. The black and white image, with its intricate details and textures, showcases the artistry of Johns Johnston and the heritage of this bygone era. The "New Jersey, N[ew] Rochelle, 1890" photograph is a testament to a simpler time, where the pleasures of the great outdoors and the company of friends provided endless enjoyment. This image is now part of the prestigious collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture.
