  LOC: Bain's photo caption gives each man his rank (abbreviated).

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  Wystan: Thanks for pointing out the additional information. Admiral Frank F. Fletcher and Admiral Charles J. Badger are depicted here on the USS Wyoming as Fletcher took over command from Badger of the Atlantic fleet in September 1914. We will add all of these details to the record when we update.

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  The third officer, pictured but not identified in the caption, is Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, aide for operations to Secretary Daniels of the Navy.

• beachcomber australia said:

  There is a photo album of "ca. 1905" -
  "The album is a photographic record (ca. 1905) of the studio of sculptor and painter Herbert Ward (1863-1919) documenting his sculptures of African tribesmen and women and the interior of his studio which was filled with African tribal artifacts. Ward was born in London but spent much of his life in Paris. The focus of his collection and sculptural work was the result of his expedition to central Africa with Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) in 1887."

  Maybe Ward sent this print to his close friend Casement. Probably before WW1, when they fell out according to Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ward_(sculptor)

  The NLI catalogue has five photos of Ward's Paris studio -

  Aside - I think it looks awful; all those dead things and pointy objects are dreadful feng shui.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Date is definitely after 1899 when Ward moved to Paris.
