EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1911, Marshal-Admiral Togo Heihachiro of the Imperial Japanese Navy stands proudly next to Captain John H. Gibbons of the United States Navy. The setting is the United States Naval Academy, where Gibbons served as Superintendent at the time. Togo, a marquis and admiral of the fleet in the Japanese Navy, wore his traditional full-dress uniform adorned with numerous decorations and insignia. Gibbons, on the other hand, donned his formal military attire, complete with a star on his collar signifying his rank as a captain. The meeting between these two naval officers was a significant demonstration of international relations during the early 20th century. Togo's visit to the United States Naval Academy showcased the growing relationship between the two nations, as well as their shared commitment to naval warfare and military education. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the importance of diplomacy and the role of military leaders in shaping international relations. The black and white image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, captures a moment in history where two powerful naval forces came together, fostering a spirit of cooperation and understanding. The contrasting uniforms and the formal setting serve as a reminder of the rich military heritage shared by both Japan and the United States. This photograph is an essential piece in the annals of naval history and international relations, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolving relationship between these two nations.
