EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking three-quarter length portrait captures the commanding presence of Webber, a naval officer or ship captain, in the late 19th century. The image, created by renowned photographer Alfred Lee Broadbent in 1894 or 1895, depicts Webber standing tall and facing left, dressed in the formal attire of the time. He wears a double-breasted coat with gold buttons, a white collar shirt, and a red necktie. In his right hand, he holds a sword with a gleaming blade, symbolizing his authority and rank. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, with a plain wall behind Webber, drawing all attention to the subject. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp focus, captures every detail of Webber's uniform and the intricate design of the sword. Webber's pose and attire suggest a man of importance, likely an admiral or a high-ranking naval officer. The photograph is a testament to the rich naval history of the United States, particularly in the context of the Alaska frontier. The meeting of land and sea, and the importance of naval warfare and transportation during this period, are beautifully encapsulated in this image. The photograph is a valuable historical document, showcasing the fashion and culture of the late 19th century, as well as the importance of the navy in American history. It is a reminder of the past, a glimpse into a time when naval officers like Webber played a crucial role in shaping the nation's identity and expanding its territories.
