EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the historic moment of the unveiling of the Statue of Commodore John Barry in Washington D.C. on May 16, 1914. The statue, located in the heart of the nation's capital, pays tribute to the "Father of the American Navy." Commodore Barry, a native of Ireland, played a pivotal role in the American Revolutionary War, commanding several naval engagements against the British. In this photograph, a large crowd has gathered to witness the unveiling ceremony. Men in uniform, both military and naval, are seen standing at attention, some with rifles at the ready. Others are seen in the background, watching the proceedings with great interest. The statue itself is partially covered by a large American flag, adding to the sense of patriotism and national pride. The event was significant not only for its historical significance but also for its political implications. Commodore Barry's contributions to the American military were being recognized and honored in the nation's capital, a testament to the importance of naval power in American history. The statue, which was funded through private donations, was a collaborative effort between Martha Ewing Newcombe and George W. Harris of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. The photograph itself is a beautiful example of the studio's work, capturing the energy and excitement of the occasion with remarkable clarity. Overall, this image is a fascinating glimpse into American history, showcasing the importance of naval power, patriotism, and political ceremony in the early 20th century.
