The academy's grounds above the Hudson River at West Point, New York, are the focus here, and the caption card ties the view to physical education and training. West Point, founded in 1802, was the nation's first military academy, and its curriculum for cadets has long included rigorous athletics and drill alongside engineering and military science. The print carries a copyright credit to Waldon Fawcett, a photographer who issued views of American places for sale. The date of about 1905 comes from the record, which notes that its catalog details are unverified.
