Verschillende zeilschepen te water met op de achtergrond een heuvelachtig landschap c. 1880 - 1900

This photograph by James Adamson, taken between 1880 and 1900, captures a fleet of sailboats racing on a calm body of water. The composition features the boats in the foreground, creating a sense of depth, with a distant, hilly shoreline serving as the backdrop. The photograph's monochrome palette enhances the sense of tranquility and highlights the interplay of light and shadow on the sails and the water. This image offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century sailing and the beauty of nature captured through the lens of photography.
