EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1912, two prominent women of Texas society are seen proudly observing the launch of the U.S.S. Texas. Mrs. O.B. Colquitt, wife of Governor Oscar Branch Colquitt, and Mrs. B.T. Bonner stand together, dressed in elegant turn-of-the-century attire. Martha Kuntze Bonner, wearing a simple yet stylish dress with a high collar and a small hat adorned with a single feather, stands on the left. Her expression is one of excitement and anticipation, her eyes fixed on the warship that is about to be set afloat. On the right, Alice Fuller Murrell Colquitt, dressed in a voluminous dress with a low-cut neckline and a large, ornate hat, looks equally thrilled. Her hat, which features a large brim and a cascade of feathers, adds a touch of glamour to the scene. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, based in Washington D.C. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe, was a leading provider of news and press photographs during the early 20th century. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The U.S.S. Texas, a pre-dreadnought battleship, was the lead ship of its class and was named after the Lone Star State. The launching ceremony took place in Newport News, Virginia, and was a significant event in the state's history. The photograph captures a moment of pride and excitement for the women of Texas as they witness the launch of their state's newest warship.
