Description: This is an original photograph from the scrapbook of Apprentice Seaman Orval Orchard Bartlow who served aboard the storied USS Texas from 1928 to 1932. The scrapbook of his adventures was filled with over 100 images of his time aboard and port visits. These are all rare, first generation images. Many are likely one of a kind. Type & Size: A 4.5x3 original photograph.Condition: Good vintage condition. Please see photos. A young sailor, likely a crew member of the USS Texas, is seated on a circular stone fountain in a garden-like setting. The sailor is dressed in a naval uniform, complete with a white hat. The image captures an outdoor scene, likely taken during a port visit in 1929. In the background, there is a large greenhouse structure and some foliage, adding to the serene and historical atmosphere of the photograph.The USS Texas, commissioned in 1914, was one of the first battleships to be built in the United States. During the late 1920s, the ship participated in naval exercises and port visits that allowed sailors to interact with local civilians. The Seventh Division was an operational group of sailors and marines, implying that this photograph may represent a time of camaraderie and relaxation amidst the rigors of naval service.Whitson, M.
