EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Battleship Review - Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads; President Taft; Lt. Comdr. John W. Timmonds," captures a significant moment in American naval history. Taken in 1912 by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image features President William Howard Taft standing proudly on the deck of a battleship, surrounded by naval officers. Among them are Major Thomas L. Rhoads and Lt. Comdr. John W. Timmonds, both dressed in their full military regalia. The scene takes place during a battleship review, a formal inspection of a naval fleet by a head of state or other high-ranking official. The event was likely held to showcase the strength and readiness of the United States Navy. President Taft, dressed in a suit and bicorne hat, looks intently at the officers under his command. Major Rhoads, wearing a military uniform complete with bicorne hat and sword, stands to the president's right. Lt. Comdr. Timmonds, also in uniform, stands to the left. The trio exudes an air of authority and confidence, reflecting the importance of the naval forces in America's defense. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading provider of photographic services in Washington, D.C. during the early 20th century. Their glass negatives, including this one, offer a fascinating glimpse into American history and the fashion of the time.
