EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Copyphotograph of an earlier photo of the Naval Reserves at Fishers Island" takes us back to a bygone era. Captured in 1898 by the renowned Byron Company, this silver gelatin print showcases a group of sailors departing on a rowing boat. The image exudes a sense of adventure and camaraderie as the crew members clamber into the ungainly vessel. With oars in hand, they prepare for their nautical journey, leaving behind the safety of land. The composition beautifully captures their determination and readiness for whatever lies ahead. The timeless quality of this photograph is enhanced by its monochromatic palette. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each sailor's figure as they climb aboard. Their uniforms proudly display their affiliation with the Navy, symbolizing duty and honor. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a time when life moved at a slower pace – where rowing boats were essential modes of transportation and photographs immortalized moments that would otherwise fade away. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into naval history while reminding us that even departures can be filled with grace and purpose.
