Mess Time Aboard Ship
Colorized stereograph showing sailors sitting in the mess deck eating a meal. Text on the reverse of the stereograph provides details about capturing the image and opinions of the class of men selected for the United States Navy.
Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “This view was taken after five separate attempts and considerable trouble had been gone to to get permission to take same by flash-light. It is the only view in existence showing sailors at mess-time enjoying their meal.
By the careful study of this picture you will discover what a magnificent and wonderful picture a Stereoscopic View is. Even the creases of the clothes, the smallest little details of the food and the bolts all stand out in bold relief.
One of the Close Shaves of a Sailor’s Life
Colorized stereograph showing a tattooed sailor shaving another sailor as three others watch aboard the USS Missouri. Text on the reverse of the stereograph includes information about shaving on board the ship and praises the physique of the sailors.
Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “This is another flash-light picture taken after considerable difficulty by our Stereoscopic Artist on board the Missouri. Some of the boys can shave themselves and others are not able, and the sailor who is not able to shave himself has to avail himself of the first opportunity that presents itself to him, and he is now being shaved by a friend or comrade. Thrown together closely and isolated, the sailors have to depend on one another for many comforts in the shape of tailoring, shaving and that sort of thing. We wish to draw your attention again to the fine physique of the men.”
