EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print from ca. 1917 showcases one of the mighty guns aboard the USS Wyoming, a prominent U. S. battleship during World War I. The image captures the raw power and immense scale of these weapons that played a crucial role in naval warfare at the time. In this black and white lithograph, a group of military personnel, including soldiers and visitors, gather around the gun as if mesmerized by its sheer magnitude. The men are dressed in their uniforms, representing different branches of service, while civilians marvel at this impressive display of military might. The composition exudes an air of anticipation and readiness for battle. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave men who served on board such vessels during times of war. Printed by renowned publishers Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, this postcard offers a glimpse into an era when communication relied heavily on physical mail rather than digital means. Now preserved in Lake County Museum's collection thanks to Louis Kaufmann Sons' transfer prints technique, it stands as both a historical artifact and testament to American patriotism. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who fought valiantly aboard ships like the USS Wyoming—heroes whose dedication ensured our freedom amidst tumultuous times.
