Seven men in a single boat on the water at Cambridge, Massachusetts, make up this 1906 view by Frances Benjamin Johnston. Johnston was one of the best-known American photographers of her era, and she worked in Washington and beyond, documenting people and places across the country. Cambridge sits on the Charles River, where boating was a common pastime and a source of rivalry in the early 1900s, so the scene reflects that water culture. The record does not say who the men were or what occasion brought them together.
