EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Washington Square Arch, a symbol of historical significance and architectural grandeur. Designed by Stanford White, this wooden arch was erected in Washington Square, New York to commemorate the centenary of George Washington's inauguration as President in 1889. The engraving captures the essence of late 19th-century America with its intricate details and artistic finesse. The wooden arch served as a testament to the nation's admiration for its first president and stood proudly in the heart of Washington Square Park. Crowds would gather beneath it, marveling at its craftsmanship and paying homage to their founding father. However, time took its toll on this magnificent structure, leading to its replacement with a marble version in 1895. This enchanting image transports us back to an era when wood was still prevalent in urban landscapes and monuments were built with meticulous care. It reminds us that even temporary structures can leave an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this line engraving from 1891, we are reminded not only of the physical beauty of the arch but also of the people who once walked these streets – individuals who lived during a pivotal period in American history. This artwork is a testament to our collective memory and serves as a reminder that every city has stories etched within its walls – stories waiting patiently for us to discover them anew.
