EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Washington Monument, standing tall in all its grandeur. Taken around 1897 by an unknown creator, this image captures the essence of a bygone era in American history. The obelisk, located on the National Mall in Washington D. C. , was built as a tribute to George Washington, the revered founding father of the nation. The photograph is extracted from "A Tour Through the New World America" authored by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. It offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels that adorned America during this period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this historic site's depiction, emphasizing its timeless beauty against a backdrop of urban development. The serene lake beside it provides a tranquil setting for visitors to reflect upon their country's rich heritage. Intriguingly, seated on one side of the road leading up to the monument is a gentleman engrossed in his thoughts or perhaps contemplating its significance within American society at that time. As we explore this remarkable image captured over a century ago, we are transported back to an era when men like George Washington shaped our great nation's destiny. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an enduring symbol that continues to inspire awe today - reminding us of our past while guiding us towards our future.
