The record names a Russian submarine, though the title comes from unverified notes written on the negative sleeve, so the specific vessel and its location remain uncertain. Russia's navy was building and buying submarines in the decade before the First World War, and the picture likely reflects the growing international interest in the new craft. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm active in these years, produced many news and publicity images, so this glass negative belongs to a broader record of how the press documented naval technology. Visible streaks and blemishes come from deterioration of the original coating.
