This print shows the U.S. battleship *Kansas*, named for the state, and it is dated around 1914. The record notes that it was deposited with the U.S. Copyright Office, a common practice for photographs of the period. Battleships like the *Kansas* were the most powerful and costly warships of their day, and photographs of them often served as public displays of national strength. The bracketed title suggests the cataloguers supplied the ship's name, so it is worth checking the identification against naval records.
