EDITORS COMMENTS
A moment of international camaraderie: Admiral Togo Heihachiro of Japan stands tall alongside Major General Thomas Henry Barry at West Point in August 1911. The esteemed naval hero, honored for his achievements on the high seas, is warmly received by the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. This poignant photograph captures a rare moment of friendship and respect between two nations' military leaders during a time of growing global tensions.
Admiral Togo's impressive career as Marshal Admiral Marquis Heihachiro Tōgō had already earned him widespread recognition, including his role in Japan's victory over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War. As he stands alongside General Barry at West Point, it is clear that this visit was a significant milestone in diplomatic relations between America and Japan.
The photograph itself is a testament to the art of early 20th-century photography. Taken by Bain News Service, one of the most prominent news agencies of its time, this image has been preserved for generations to come through the Library of Congress's Heritage Images collection.
