EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1911, Marshal-Admiral the Marquis Togo Heihachiro of the Imperial Japanese Navy stands proudly next to Captain John H. Gibbons of the United States Navy, both men dressed in their full uniforms at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The Marquis Togo Heihachiro, a highly decorated admiral and a key figure in Japanese naval history, had arrived in the United States for a visit, marking a significant moment in international relations between the two countries. Captain John H. Gibbons, on the other hand, was the superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at the time, responsible for the education and training of future naval officers. The photograph captures the respect and admiration between these two naval leaders, as they exchange pleasantries and engage in conversation. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the early 20th century, with Togo's traditional Japanese headdress and ornate uniform contrasting sharply with Gibbons' more Western-style military uniform. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., and is now part of the Martha Ewing Newcombe Collection at the Library of Congress. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of naval warfare and international relations, and a reminder of the enduring bond between Japan and the United States.
