EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the USS Illinois, a pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, during the 1910s. The image, respectfully dedicated to the U.S.S. Illinois and the good people of that great American state, showcases the battleship's unique "cage" masts, a distinctive feature of the time. The USS Illinois was the lead ship of her class and was commissioned in 1911. The print is accompanied by a sheet of music entitled "U.S.S. Illinois March," composed by Enrique Muller and published by Forster & Co. in Chicago in 1915. This musical composition was likely written to honor the battleship and her crew. The USS Illinois was a vital part of the United States Navy's training fleet during the early 20th century. Pre-dreadnought battleships like the Illinois represented the pinnacle of naval technology at the time and were instrumental in shaping the future of naval warfare. The "cage" masts, a departure from the traditional mast design, were a significant innovation in naval architecture. These masts, which resembled a cage due to their lattice structure, allowed for greater flexibility in the placement of sails and masts, improving the overall efficiency and maneuverability of the vessel. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the USS Illinois and the United States Navy during the early 1900s. It serves as a reminder of the important role that battleships played in shaping the world and the significance of naval power in the 20th century.
