EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1896 and 1899, showcases Ensign Proctor standing proudly on the deck of the U.S.S. Brooklyn. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was a cruiser of the Brooklyn class, which was the first modern cruiser class built for the United States Navy. The image was captured during the late 19th century, a time when naval warfare was rapidly evolving and the U.S. Navy was expanding its fleet. Ensign Proctor is dressed in his full uniform, which includes a crisp white shirt, dark trousers, and a navy-blue blouse with gold buttons and epaulets. His hat, adorned with a gold anchor insignia, sits neatly on the table behind him. The U.S.S. Brooklyn can be seen in the background, with its distinctive smokestacks and gun turrets towering over the crew. The photograph was taken using a dry plate glass negative process, which was a common method for producing high-quality images during this time period. The image is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into both the naval ships and the photographic process during the late 19th century. The U.S.S. Brooklyn played a significant role in the Spanish-American War, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a naval officer during this period. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, military history, or photography, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and tradition of the United States Navy.
