EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing on May 18, 1912, we find three young women, Claudia Lyon, Miss Garland Bonner, and May Colquitt, proudly gathered at the launching ceremony of the U.S.S. Texas in Norfolk, Virginia. The U.S.S. Texas was the lead ship of the Texas-class of pre-dreadnought battleships, and its launch marked a significant milestone in the United States Navy's expansion. Claudia Lyon, the eldest daughter of Colonel Cecil Lyon, a Republican national committeeman from Texas, stands at the center of the image, her gaze fixed on the camera with an air of confidence. She wears a stylish, high-necked blouse with a full skirt and a large hat adorned with a delicate flower. To her left, Miss Garland Bonner and Miss May Colquitt, both dressed in elegant, full-length dresses with matching hats, smile warmly at the camera. The trio is surrounded by a lush, green background, with roses and other flowers adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The photograph, taken at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, is a testament to the spirit of the era, capturing the excitement and pride surrounding the launch of a new naval vessel. The crisp, black-and-white image, with its timeless composition and intricate details, is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offering a glimpse into the fashion and social dynamics of early 20th-century America.
