Among the Detroit Publishing Company's views of American places, this group portrait stands out for its mascot and for the women pictured with the graduating class, details its second title records as "Graduating class and mascot, Annapolis, 1894." The photograph was made at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where midshipmen trained for careers as naval officers. It was taken on an 8 by 10 inch glass dry plate, and its posed, large-format composition reflects the portrait conventions of the 1890s, when the company's photographers traveled widely recording the country.
