EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph depicts the Italian navy's protected cruiser, Giovanni Bausan, anchored at a foreign port during the late 19th century. The exact location and date of the image are unknown, but it is believed to have been taken around 1893. The cruiser, named after the Italian naval officer Giovanni Bausan, was one of several Italian warships that were ordered from the United States during the 1880s as part of Italy's modernization of its naval forces. The photograph, which is a dry plate or glass negative, was likely produced by an American photography company such as Detroit Publishing or Edwin H. Husher. The image showcases the cruiser's impressive size and sleek design, with its tall mast and multiple gun turrets. The water in the foreground reflects the calmness of the sea, adding to the serene atmosphere of the photograph. The Italian navy played a significant role in the country's unification and modernization efforts during the late 19th century. The acquisition of modern warships like the Giovanni Bausan helped Italy establish itself as a major European power and assert its presence on the global stage. This historic photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring importance of preserving the visual record of our past. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era of naval warfare and international relations, and serves as a reminder of the rich maritime heritage that connects Italy and the United States.
