EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Pistol Drill of the Cadets from the United States Revenue Cutter Service in 1904. The service, established back in 1790 to enforce maritime law, played a crucial role in maintaining order at sea. These young men, dressed impeccably in their military uniforms and caps, stand tall with determination as they undergo rigorous training. Set against a rustic rural backdrop with towering trees as witnesses, this image exudes an air of discipline and strength. Each cadet holds a handgun firmly, displaying their commitment to upholding the law and protecting our waters. It is evident that only young men were part of this drill; their unity is palpable as they line up together. The format of this landscape photograph by Paul Thompson/FPG adds depth to the scene while capturing every detail flawlessly. Preserved through time, this historical snapshot serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then. Today known as the US Coast Guard after its amalgamation into it in 1915, the legacy of these brave individuals lives on. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate their dedication and sacrifice for safeguarding our maritime interests.
