EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. New York - Picture of Proposed Sister Ships 'New York' and 'Texas,' 1912," is a stunning representation of the proposed designs for the U.S. Navy's new battleships. Created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, this image showcases the impressive U.S.S. New York, with its distinctive twin smokestacks, or funnels, and the equally impressive U.S.S. Texas in the background. The United States Congress was considering the construction of these two battleships as part of the Naval Appropriations Act of 1912. The New York and Texas were intended to be sister ships, with similar designs and specifications. The New York class battleships were expected to be the most advanced warships in the world at the time, boasting impressive armaments and advanced engineering. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the design process of these impressive vessels. It is a testament to the technological advancements of the early 20th century and the United States' commitment to naval power. The image captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of these ships, evoking a sense of strength, innovation, and national pride. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were prominent figures in the Washington, D.C. photography scene. Their studio, Harris Ewing, Inc., was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph is a prime example of their artistic vision and technical expertise. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the rich history of naval warfare and the United States Navy, as well as the important role that photography plays in documenting and preserving our past.
