Description: Â© Underwood and Underwood U-256655
A wide shot of a ship docked at the harbor in New York with hundreds of men posing in uniform. Many men are African American.
"The markings on both sides changed by late 1916 or early 1917. The left marking called Underwood & Underwood "European Publishers" with a London office, probably to emphasize their European connections and access to images of the war. The right marking included the offices in New York and Ottawa, KS, and the works in Arlington, NJ. Toronto and Westwood, NJ were not mentioned and may reflect further consolidation of facilities. The earliest style of the new markings has a less elaborate font than the previous style and was used only briefly. It is also known on unnumbered English cards not intended for the American market."
