EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Alicia, 1895 July 3," captures a serene moment on the water as American industrialist Henry Flagler's steam yacht, the Alicia, glides effortlessly through the calm waters. The image, taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, showcases the yacht in its full glory as it sails past a picturesque geographical feature, likely off the coast of the United States. Built in 1890 by Harlan and Hollingsworth of Wilmington, Delaware, the Alicia was a custom-built steam yacht that was a symbol of Flagler's wealth and status. Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, was known for his entrepreneurial spirit and innovative business practices. In his leisure time, he enjoyed the pursuit of sailing and the beauty of the natural world. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1890s when sailing was a popular pastime for the wealthy and well-connected. The image is a testament to the elegance and grandeur of the era, with the Alicia's sleek lines and white sails standing out against the backdrop of the clear blue sea. Detailed in the image are the intricate design elements of the yacht, from its ornate railings to the elegant lines of its hull. The photograph also captures the crew members, dressed in their sailing attire, as they go about their duties on deck. The overall effect is one of tranquility and beauty, a moment frozen in time that speaks to the allure of the sea and the pleasure of sailing.
