Overview This is a fantastic real photo postcard from the 1920s, capturing a mixed group of U.S. Navy and Army officers with their civilian guests, likely family or spouses, on the deck of a battleship. The image is a wonderful juxtaposition of military formality and the height of Roaring Twenties fashion, with the women dressed stylishly in cloche hats and fur-trimmed coats. The presence of a large naval gun turret firmly places the scene on a warship, making this an excellent piece of both military and social history.
