EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we see a historic meeting between two distinguished naval figures: Marshal-Admiral Heihachiro Togo of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Captain John H. Gibbons of the United States Navy. The image was captured in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1911. At the time, Marshal-Admiral Togo held the esteemed position of admiral of the fleet in the Japanese Navy, having led Japan to a decisive victory over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War just over a decade prior. His impressive military career had solidified his place in Japanese history. Captain John H. Gibbons, on the other hand, was the superintendent of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Gibbons' tenure at the academy saw significant growth and modernization, making him a respected figure in the American naval community. The photograph captures the two men in their formal attire, with Togo donning his admiral's uniform and Gibbons wearing his captain's uniform. The image serves as a testament to the international relations between Japan and the United States during this period, as well as the shared commitment to naval warfare and military education. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Invention and Discovery collection, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the important role these two naval leaders played in their respective countries.
