This booklet is a contribution to the Naval War Colleges celebration of the 125th anniversary of its founding on 6 October 1884. The booklet is designed to complement a special exhibit in the Naval War College Museum, which was made up of a selection of the portraits illustrated here. In addition, it is also meant as a step toward further scholarship on this subject in American naval history and American naval art. As Joost C. A. Schokkenbroek, a curator at the Nederlands Scheepvaart museum in Amsterdam, recently wrote, No encompassing study of the phenomenon of portraits of maritime celebrities has before been published.1
