EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Admiral George Dewey, a prominent United States Navy officer, proudly pulls the rope to unveil the newly completed John Paul Jones Memorial in Washington D.C. The statue, created by renowned sculptor Charles Henry Niehaus, commemorates John Paul Jones, the United States' first naval war hero and the father of the US Navy. Jones was the only naval officer to receive a Congressional Gold Medal during the American Revolutionary War. The event took place in the early 1910s, and the image captures the grandeur of the occasion. Surrounded by a large crowd, including Admiral Dewey's wife, Martha Newcombe Dewey, and Martha Kuntze, wife of the sculptor, the atmosphere is filled with patriotic fervor. Flags wave in the background, and a banner bearing the name "John Paul Jones Memorial" can be seen above the statue. The statue, located in Potomac Park, stands tall and imposing, with John Paul Jones depicted as a determined naval officer, holding a sword in one hand and a hat in the other. The monument serves as a testament to the rich naval history of the United States and the heroes who shaped it. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable piece of heritage art that captures a significant moment in American history.
