EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures an unidentified naval officer standing proudly aboard a ship, facing right, during the late 19th century, around 1894 or 1895. The photograph was taken by Alfred Lee Broadbent during his Documentary Expedition to Alaska and the islands off its northern coast. The officer's formal attire, complete with a high-collared jacket, trousers, and a hat adorned with a wide ribbon, suggests his rank and military status. The image offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers, as the United States continued to expand its naval presence in Alaska and assert its authority in the region. The photograph, with its crisp details and sharp contrasts, showcases the officer's stern expression and the ship's intricate rigging, providing a glimpse into the rich history of naval warfare and transportation during this era. The image is a testament to the culture and heritage of the late 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the significant role the navy played in the exploration and colonization of new territories. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of documentary photographs held by the Library of Congress.
