EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the young and determined look of Harry H.G. Barton, a midshipman in the United States Navy, in 1933. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, based in Washington D.C. Barton is seen wearing the standard midshipman uniform of the United States Navy during the 1930s. The crisp white shirt, navy blue trousers, and midshipman cap adorned with gold braid and a star insignia, all contribute to the formal and disciplined appearance of the young man. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of focus and dedication to his naval career. The portrait was taken during a significant period in American history, as the country was recovering from the Great Depression and preparing for the challenges of the approaching Second World War. The United States Navy was undergoing a period of expansion, and young men like Barton were answering the call to serve their country. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. that was known for its high-quality portraits and still images. The studio was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing in 1912 and was later joined by Martha's sister, Martha Kuntze Newcombe. The studio's glass negatives are now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, making this portrait an important historical artifact. Overall, this portrait of Harry H.G. Barton, Midshipman, is a powerful representation of the courage and dedication of the men and women who served in the United States Navy during the 1930s. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the United States Navy and the important role it has played in American history.
