EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "German Squadron Visit To U.S. Rear Adm. - Wardar Arriving On 'Mayflower', 1912," is a stunning record of history captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image depicts Rear Adm. von Wardar of the German Navy, proudly standing on the deck of the ship 'Mayflower,' as a group of sailors and naval officers salute him in welcome. The German squadron's visit to the United States in 1912 was a significant event in naval diplomacy, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time. The sailors are dressed in their crisp, white uniforms, complete with sailor suits and hats, while Adm. von Wardar wears the traditional uniform of a German naval officer. The women in the background, including Martha Kuntze and Martha Newcombe of Harris & Ewing, are elegantly dressed in long skirts and blouses, reflecting the fashion trends of the early 1910s. The photograph was taken on board the 'Mayflower,' a transport ship that played a crucial role in the squadron's journey across the Atlantic. The image captures the sense of excitement and anticipation as the German naval officers and sailors disembarked and were welcomed to American shores. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of historical images, offering a fascinating insight into naval diplomacy, fashion, and the social customs of the early 20th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the timeless composition make it a true masterpiece of photographic art.
