when style and color. anecdote, poetry
and hyperbole all had their place.
It was also a campaign year, but the

and America. The suggestion had
fired his imagination and on his first
visit to America he had suddenly de-
eided that New York's great harbor
was the perfect setting for such a
statue. Popular subscription in France
provided funds and Bartholdi labored
on the statue for nearly 10 years. The

Aboard La Bretagne, Bartholdi strode

picture story of Americas thrilling
saga of the sea.
The room is musty and drab, but
all that fades as one opens the olive
green files and looks upon the prints
which, one by one, unfold the whole
sweeping history of the Nations naval
glory.
Here, in the Photographic section
of the Navy Department in Washing
ton, there are more than 10000 illus
trations-original photographs, copies
of paintings, drawings. charts, maps
and portraits of naval officers and
crews. And this amazing collection
is growing from day to day.
The pictures are concerned chiefly
with the American Navy, its exploits
and its development through the
years from the time of Esek Hopkins
and John Paul Jones to the present.
But it includes also tremendous
amount of other illustrative material
about navies and Navy men from the
earliest times: wood cuts of ancient
battles long since forgotten; crude
drawings of fabulous beasts of the
deep; sketches of heroes who strode
quarterdecks which for centuries have
rested in Davy Jones' locker.
The plain green files in this con-
ventional Washington Office yield
fascinating vista of thrilling chapter
in our history.
The spirited naval engagements of
the Revolution and of the War of
1912 are depicted by paintings-often
more vivid than accurate, but, never
theless. giving clear idea of what
fighting ships looked like in those
days. Similarly, one may trace the
development of the ships which took
part in that queer half-war with
France, and the hot fights Of the
Tripolitan War.
THE clipper ships Of the two decades
from 1880 to 1850 are there in
glorious array, and along around the
middle of the century actual photo
graphs Of the vessels and their masters
and crews begin to appear. It was
not until the Civil War, however, that
naval photography really came into
its own. Here, as on land, it was
Mathew Brady. pioneer and master
cameraman, who showed the way.
The Navy Departments file of these
pictures is wonderfully complete. Per-
