EDITORS COMMENTS
Target Practice: A Moment of Respite on the Naval Vessel, 1913-1917 Amidst the tense atmosphere of the early 20th century, as the world geared up for the Great War, moments of relaxation and camaraderie were cherished. In this evocative photograph by Harris & Ewing, we witness a scene of target practice on board a naval vessel, likely between 1913 and 1917. Naval officers and civilians, dressed in their formal attire, engage in the time-honored tradition of sharpening their shooting skills. The deck of the ship serves as the backdrop for this tableau, with the vast expanse of water stretching out in the distance. The crisp, clean lines of the ship's structure contrast sharply with the informal, relaxed poses of the individuals in the scene. Bowler hats are perched atop the heads of some of the men, while others don more casual hats or caps. The women, dressed in elegant dresses and hats, observe the proceedings from the sidelines, their fashionable attire a stark reminder of the contrasting worlds of war and peace. The glass negative captures the essence of this moment in time, a brief respite from the impending conflict that would soon engulf the world. This photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, is a poignant reminder of the human element in naval warfare, and the importance of camaraderie and tradition, even in the most trying of times.
