This album page documents American sailors and Marines quartered inside a Mexican government palace, likely during a period of U.S. naval intervention in Mexico in the early-to-mid 1910s. The photographs show their improvised barracks lined with cots, a formal portrait beneath the American flag flanked by stacked rifles, a reproduction of a large historical battle painting displayed within the palace, and the men posed on the building's grand staircase -- together capturing both the routine and the ceremony of an ashore deployment far from ship.
