EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from ca. 1915 showcases a powerful moment at Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, VA. The image captures the intense action of a twelve-inch rifle being fired by military personnel at this historic location. As the cannon releases its thunderous blast, smoke billows out into the air, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of dedicated men in uniform coming together to operate this formidable weapon. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to defending the United States of America and upholding its armed forces' strength. The postcard format adds an intriguing layer to this scene as it allows us to imagine who might have received or sent such a card during that time period. Perhaps it was shared between loved ones separated by duty or used as a memento for those visiting Fortress Monroe. Printed by renowned lithograph company Curt Teich Company, this offset lithograph is not just an ordinary photograph but rather a work of art capturing both historical significance and technical precision. Its transfer prints technique ensures every detail is faithfully reproduced on high-quality paper. Today, located in Lake County Museum's collection, this photolithograph continues to serve as a testament to American armed forces' bravery and dedication throughout history. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals who defended our nation's freedom with unwavering courage.
