EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Capitol, Nashville, Tennessee, 1860s" showcases the magnificent neo-classical architecture of the capitol building in Davidson County. Created by George N. Barnard in the 19th century using albumen silver print from a glass negative, this image is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the grandeur of the capitol building set against a backdrop of tents. The juxtaposition between the neoclassical structure and the temporary camp evokes curiosity about its context during that era. It offers us a glimpse into an important period in American history. Barnard's expert composition captures not only architectural details but also conveys a sense of place and country. The landscape surrounding the capitol adds depth to this visual narrative as it reflects Nashville's natural beauty. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their photography collection, this print serves as a valuable heritage artifact. Its inclusion within such esteemed institution testifies to its artistic merit and historical importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by George N. Barnard, we are transported back to an era when America was on the cusp of change – where tradition met progress and history unfolded before our eyes.
