A hospital ward at the United States Naval Hospital in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the subject of this 8 by 10 inch glass negative, made by the Detroit Publishing Company sometime between 1890 and 1901. The hospital cared for seamen tied to the yard and the fleet, so the scene records a care setting directly connected to naval service in New York. Detroit Publishing photographers traveled widely to document American cities, institutions and landscapes, and their interior views offer a useful glimpse of how military hospital wards were furnished and arranged at the end of the nineteenth century.
