EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. between 1900 and 1920. The image shows a line of guns, bound for the testing grounds, being transported by tugboats. The boats navigate the calm waters of the river, with the distinctive outline of Washington, D.C. in the background. The geographical feature of the Potomac River, a significant waterway in the history of the United States, adds to the historical context of the scene. The guns, likely destined for the U.S. military, are carefully secured on the boats, ready for their journey upriver. The dry plate glass negative, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, when the testing and development of new weaponry was a crucial aspect of the country's defense strategy. The photograph, published by Detroit Publishing Company, is a testament to the rich heritage of American history and the evolution of military technology. The boats and guns, with their rustic charm, convey a sense of the past, while the modern cityscape of Washington, D.C. in the background underscores the passage of time. This image, with its timeless quality and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or military history.
