EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral U.S.J. Dunbar stands solemnly before the Death Mask of Admiral George Dewey. The image, captured in 1917, is a poignant reminder of the rich naval history of the United States. Admiral Dewey, a hero of the Spanish-American War, famously led the U.S. Pacific Fleet to victory in the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898. His death mask, an intricately detailed cast of his face, was created following his passing in 1917. The mask now rests in the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. U.S.J. Dunbar, dressed in formal attire, wears an apron to protect his clothing from any potential damage during the photographic session. The photographer, Harris & Ewing, skillfully captures the admiral's respectful demeanor as he gazes upon the death mask. The industrial backdrop of the studio setting adds an intriguing contrast to the historical significance of the moment. The photograph is a fascinating blend of art, history, and fashion. The crisp lines of Dunbar's dress uniform, the intricate details of the death mask, and the industrial setting all come together to create a compelling visual narrative. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of American naval history and the men who have shaped it. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of American history and the important role that the U.S. Navy has played in shaping the nation's identity.
