EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in American history, as notable figures gather for an elegant dinner on the Confederate Memorial at Stone Mountain, Georgia. The Confederate Memorial, a massive bas-relief sculpture carved into the side of Stone Mountain, is the largest of its kind in the world, measuring an impressive 90 feet high and 119 feet long. The image, believed to have been taken circa 1925, features Governor Trinkle of Virginia and other distinguished guests dining on the carved shoulder of General Robert E. Lee. Lee, a prominent military leader during the American Civil War, is commemorated in this monumental tribute, which also pays homage to other Confederate leaders and soldiers. The Confederate Memorial, completed in 1915, was a symbol of the Reconstruction era's resurgence of Confederate pride and heritage. The monument's intricate carving and enormous scale have made it a significant landmark and a source of fascination for history enthusiasts and visitors alike. The photograph offers a unique perspective of the Memorial, highlighting the intimacy and grandeur of the setting. The guests, dressed in formal attire, seem to blend seamlessly into the intricately detailed carving, creating a striking contrast between the past and the present. The serene atmosphere of the scene, with the sun setting in the background, adds to the sense of history and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Confederate Memorial and the important role it plays in American history. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of the past and the ongoing debates surrounding the representation of Confederate symbols in contemporary society.
