EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1910 and 1920, depicts Admirlas William Shepherd Benson and Henry Thomas Mayo engrossed in strategic planning at the Office of Naval Operations. The image bears the notepaper heading of the Office, and Mayo, who commanded the naval squadron involved in the Tampico incident of 9 April 1914, is seen examining a map of Mexico with great focus. The glass negative, from the Harris & Ewing Collection, captures the serious expression on their faces as they discuss military strategy. The men, dressed in formal attire, are deep in conversation, their hands pointing to various locations on the map. Martha Ewing Kuntze, an assistant at Harris Ewing Photographic Studio, may have taken this portrait of the two admirals. The photograph offers a glimpse into the planning and preparation that went into naval warfare during this period, as the United States navigated international tensions and asserted its military presence on the global stage.
