This tender family portrait, taken outdoors in a grassy field, likely depicts N. Fitchelberg -- the U.S. Navy musician who kept this souvenir album of his cruise aboard USS Columbia -- together with his wife and young son during a period of home leave in the early 1900s. The eagle rating badge on his sleeve identifies him as a petty officer, while the family's clothing reflects everyday Edwardian-era American dress of the period. Project: 218611
