Two Young Men in Civilian Dress with Terrier Puppy, Oval Studio-Style Snapshot, c. 1900s

Two young men, likely U.S. Navy crewmen photographed while ashore in civilian dress, pose with a terrier puppy in front of a clapboard house, c. 1900s. Their turtleneck sweaters and sack coats reflect casual Edwardian-era menswear worn off duty. Part of a personal photograph album assembled by a crewman of the protected cruiser USS Columbia (C-12), documenting both shipboard life and moments of shore leave during the late 1890s-1910s.
