Pre-WWI U.S. Studio Photograph of Three Military Academy Cadets in Dress Uniforms with Sabers by Hugo E. Kuessner

Description

This original studio photograph captures three military academy cadets in their dress uniforms. Although undated, we can discern that the image was captured during the early 1900s, as it was taken by Hugo E. Kuessner - a Chicago, Illinois photographer in business as early as 1899. Additionally, the individual on the left is wearing a Model 1902 Army officers' saber. Unfortunately, there is no information inscribed on the photograph's reverse. Including its cardstock frame, it measures approximately 5 7/8 inches wide and 7 15/16 inches tall.
