1898 USS Maine Funeral & Court of Inquiry Prints, Spanish American War Original book page which appears to have a photo on each side, from "The Battle with Spain", published by New York Monthly Company, New York in 1898. Not a reproduction, but page from an antique 1898 issue of this book (we guarantee this), with an antique print on each side of the page. On one side it's a photo of the "Funeral of the Victims of the 'Maine' Disaster" (USS Maine, U.S.S. Maine). On the other side is a photo of "The Court of Inquiry in Session" after the destruction of the Second-Class Battleship Maine (please note that there are other photos from the USS Maine in items #1010, 1011, 1012 and 1207).

There is a paragraph under each photo providing much information and a detailed description. The funeral picture shows horse drawn carriages conveying the bodies of some of the 200 men killed in the U.S.S. Maine attack. This particular view shows "the funeral cortege entering the Prado from Obispo street, on its way to Christopher Colon Cemetery" in Havana, Cuba, where most of the bodies were buried.

As detailed under the Court Of Inquiry photo, "Within a few days after the destruction of the 'Maine' the government (of the U.S.) proceeded to institute an official inquiry in the cause of the disaster". It further states that this view "shows the full Board in session, on the lighthouse tender 'Mangrove,' examining Ensign Powelson, whose evidence was of the most important character upon which the conclusions of the Board were largely based." The paragraph mentions the naval officers chosen to compose the board, who therefore are shown here: "Captain William T. Sampson, of the 'Iowa,' President; Captain F. E. Chadwick, of the cruiser 'New York;' Lieutenant-Commander William R. Potter, executive officer of the 'New York,' and Lieutenant-Commander Adolph Marix, executive officer of the training ship 'Vermont,' the latter acting as judge advocate."

The book covers of the original book were in very bad shape, so we removed the good pages and are selling them separately. That is why, while there are no dates on these pages themselves, we can guarantee the age. Overall, this book showed pictures of naval vessels, navy ships, battleships, cruisers, gunboats, etc., which were part of the U.S. Navy at the time of the war with Spain (or the Spanish American war, the one with "Remember the Maine").

Excellent condition black & white photograph or picture, on full page measuring about 13 inches x 10 3/4 inches. No major tears, bending, or yellowing. There is very very minor page edge wear (corner creasing, other edge handling wear) and expected overall handling wear for a book page (no large creases, but the little within-the-page handling bumps or creases that you see from a page being handled or turned within a book). There is also the expected uneven edge where the page was taken from the book, and slight browning at the edges of the pages from age. All of this is very, very minor, and we judge that all would not be noticeable framed. As visible in the images of each page, you will see that the photos and their paragraphs, while "level" with each other, and not level horizontally on the pages -- they tilt slightly. This certainly could be compensated for when matted and framed.

A terrific piece to add to a collection related to the Spanish American War, the 1898 War, the U.S.S. Maine, or a collection relating in general to the U.S. Navy or US Navy Vessels, Ships, Battleships, Warships, etc.

1898 Spanish American War Naval Ship Print, USS Holland Torpedo Boat Original book page which appears to have photos, from "The Battle with Spain", published by New York Monthly Company, New York in 1898. Not a reproduction, but page from an antique issue of this book (we guarantee this), with an antique print on each side of the page; on the two sides of this page are stern and bow views of the Holland Submarine Torpedo Boat.

The book showed pictures of naval vessels, navy ships, battleships, cruisers, gunboats, etc., which were part of the U.S. Navy at the time of the war with Spain (or the Spanish American war, the one with "Remember the Maine!"). No copyright dates appear on the book pages. There are two different paragraphs describing the ship under the two pictures.

Excellent condition black & white photographs, on full page measuring about 13 inches wide x 11 inches high. No major bending, or yellowing. There is a large corner tear in one corner, but it is entirely in the margin area and could be covered with a matte when framing. There is other very minor page or corner edge wear and expected handling wear for a book page (no large creases, but the little within-the-page handling bumps or small creases that you see from a page being handled or turned within a book; we judge that this would not be noticeable framed). There is what looks like "print rubbing", print transfer or spotting in the white margin areas which we believe was done in manufacture, as well as some incomplete printing in some of the words in the paragraph on the "bow" side and white faint vertical lines & dots on the photograph (must have been a poor quality photo to start with). There is also the expected uneven edge where the page was taken from the book.

The book covers were in very bad shape, so we removed the good pages and are selling them separately.

There is other very minor page or corner edge wear and expected handling wear for a book page (the little within-the-page handling bumps or small creases that you see from a page being handled or turned within a book; we judge that this would not be noticeable framed).

The book covers were in very bad shape, so we removed the good pages and are selling them separately. A terrific piece to add to a collection related to the Spanish American War, the 1898 War, or a collection relating in general to the U.S. Navy or US Navy Vessels, Ships, Battleships, Warships, etc.

1898 Naval Ship Antique Print, USS Chicago, USS Montgomery, U.S. Navy Original book page which appears to have photos, from "The Battle with Spain", published by New York Monthly Company, New York in 1898. Not a reproduction, but page from an antique issue of this book (we guarantee this), with an antique print on each side of the page; on one side it's the Protected Cruiser Chicago, with the other the Cruiser Montgomery.

The book showed pictures of naval vessels, navy ships, battleships, cruisers, gunboats, etc., which were part of the U.S. Navy at the time of the war with Spain (or the Spanish American war, the one with "Remember the Maine!"). No copyright dates appear on the book pages. There is a paragraph describing each ship under it's picture.

Excellent condition black & white photographs, on full page measuring about 13 inches wide x 11 inches high. No tears, major bending, or yellowing. There is very minor page or corner edge wear and expected handling wear for a book page (no large creases, but the little within-the-page handling bumps or small creases that you see from a page being handled/turned within a book; we judge that this would not be noticeable framed). There are some very small dark dots, spots, ink spots in the white margin areas of the pages. There is also the expected uneven edge where the page was taken from the book.

Navy Original book page with what we believe to be photos, from "The Battle with Spain", published by New York Monthly Company, New York in 1898.
