EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous chapter in American history - the construction of the iconic Washington Monument. Taken in 1876, after a delay of nearly two decades, this image showcases the partially constructed monument rising majestically against the backdrop of Washington, D. C. The photograph offers a glimpse into the immense engineering feat undertaken to erect this national symbol. The towering obelisk stands tall amidst scaffolding and workmen tirelessly toiling away on its completion. The men can be seen meticulously maneuvering barrels and cables, each playing their part in bringing this architectural marvel to life. Notably, cracks are visible on the surface of the monument, serving as a reminder of both its ambitious scale and tumultuous past. Despite setbacks faced during construction, such as funding issues and political debates, this photograph encapsulates resilience and determination. Situated within the National Mall, surrounded by lush greenery and other significant landmarks, including carousel collections and piles of materials awaiting use for future projects; it is evident that this site was destined to become an enduring symbol of American pride. Preserved by The Granger Collection's meticulous artistry, this print allows us to appreciate not only the physical grandeur but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity that shaped our nation's capital.
