EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing the solemn beauty of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, USA. The image showcases two significant landmarks within this hallowed ground: The Temple of Fame and the Tomb of the Unknown Civil War Dead. Built in 1884, the majestic Temple of Fame stands tall with its Greek Revival architecture. Inscribed with the last names of renowned American men, it serves as a tribute to their contributions and achievements. To its right lies the poignant Tomb of the Unknown Civil War Dead, dedicated in 1866. This sacred resting place honors those brave soldiers who lost their lives during one of America's most tumultuous periods. Established during the American Civil War, Arlington National Cemetery became a final resting place for veterans from all wars fought by United States armed forces. It symbolizes not only sacrifice but also unity and remembrance for our nation's heroes. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this photograph while highlighting every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this scene captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded that even in death, these fallen warriors continue to inspire reverence and gratitude from generations past to present. This remarkable print is part of "Scenic Marvels of the New World" edited by Professor George R. Cromwell - a collection that immortalizes iconic locations across America through stunning imagery like this one.
