Description: This sepia-toned postcard features a fascinating and rare close-up of the breech of a large naval gun at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia. A sailor peers out from inside the gun’s breech, giving a unique perspective on the size and mechanics of these powerful weapons used by the U.S. Navy. The industrial components, cogged surfaces, and the scale of the machinery evoke the military innovation of the time. The back of the card includes a decorative eagle emblem in the upper left corner, adding a patriotic touch. The card is unused, offering space for correspondence and a message, with a domestic postage rate of one cent noted in the upper corner. Condition: Some corner and edge wear typical of age, with light surface marks (notably a small blemish above the sailor’s head). No tears or folds. See pics for detail.
