EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we find Marshal-Admiral the Marquis Togo Heihachiro of the Imperial Japanese Navy, paying a visit to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1911. The esteemed naval officer is seen here in the company of Captain John H. Gibbons, who was then serving as the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. Togo, who was admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy, is dressed in his full admiral's uniform, complete with a grand headdress adorned with intricate gold detailing. His formal attire is a testament to the international relations between Japan and the United States during this period, as well as the prestige of the Naval Academy. Captain Gibbons, on the other hand, wears a more traditional military uniform, with a simple cap and collar insignia. The two men stand side by side, their gazes fixed on the camera, exuding a sense of mutual respect and admiration. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early 20th century, a time when international relations were rapidly evolving and the world was becoming increasingly interconnected. It is a reminder of the important role that naval academies like Annapolis played in shaping the leaders of tomorrow and fostering diplomatic ties between nations. The image is part of the George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Collection, which consists of over 10,000 glass negatives and 5,000 prints, documenting life in the United States and abroad during the early 1900s. The collection is now housed at the Library of Congress, providing valuable insights into the history of the 20th century.
