Boudoir card photograph showing two yachts, identified in the image as Montauk and Whileway, sailing in close company on open water. Both vessels are captured under full sail, with their hulls aligned and rigging clearly articulated, emphasizing speed, balance, and sail plan. The composition highlights the paired yachts against a low horizon and distant shoreline, a format typical of late 19th-century marine photography.
The names Montauk and Whileway are printed in the negative at the lower margin beneath each vessel. The lower right corner carries the printed credit “Gubleman” with negative number 900 and the address 40 West 23rd Street, New York. Such boudoir-format yacht photographs were produced for owners, yacht clubs, and collectors, documenting notable vessels and competitive or recreational sailing scenes of the period.
Albumen photograph mounted on its original boudoir-size card. No photographer’s name is printed beyond the Gubleman credit, and no handwritten inscriptions are visible.
