Grassel

Many photographs taken on board the transport Mount Vernon in 1918-1919 are marked as having been taken by Grassel, who may have been in Navy service. Other views taken on that ship may have been his work, too, as the writing on the prints appears to be in the same style as that on views bearing his name.

This page provides links to photographs taken by Grassel.
