Between the Covers

Unbound. Mounted gelatin silver photograph. Image is 6.75" x 4.75" and mounted on a larger photographer's mount. Corners slightly rubbed, else very near fine. Image of several dozen sailors gathered in a town square, with an officer and a civilian (with an American flag) facing them, and several men in the background who have climbed a telegraph or telephone pole to view the proceedings. The title from a bookseller's description, and while likely essentially correct, the 40 & 8 (a WWI veterans' group) wasn't founded until 1920. Therein lies a mystery.
