Sunset Over Water c. 1890s

"Sunset Over Water" is a black and white photograph by William B. Post, a noted American photographer working in the late 19th century. The image depicts a serene scene of a sunset over a body of water, possibly a lake or the ocean. The sky is filled with soft, wispy clouds, and the water is gently rippled. A sailboat is visible in the distance, adding a sense of scale and tranquility to the composition. The photograph is a classic example of Post's work, known for its delicate beauty and its emphasis on capturing the fleeting moments of nature.
