Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby and Commander Adolphus Andrews appear together in this November 1922 view, a pairing that reflects the Navy's leadership in the years after the First World War. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that supplied news and portrait photographs to newspapers, made the exposure on glass, a format that rewards close inspection of fine detail. The date comes from unverified information on the negative sleeve, and streaks or blemishes on the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
