EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Bartholdi Fountain and the Capitol in Washington DC during the late 19th or early 20th century. Designed by renowned French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who later created the Statue of Liberty, this magnificent fountain was originally crafted for the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition, a momentous event commemorating America's centenary. After its debut at the exposition, this exquisite masterpiece caught the attention of US Congress, leading to its acquisition and relocation to Washington DC's Mall. However, it wasn't until 1927 that it found its current home at Independence Avenue and First Street. The image showcases not only the stunning architecture of both The Bartholdi Fountain and Capitol but also highlights their harmonious coexistence within this historic cityscape. The intricate details of each building are beautifully captured in monochrome tones, emphasizing their timeless elegance. As water gracefully sprays from the fountain's ornate sculptures into a serene pool below, one can almost feel transported back in time to witness this remarkable sight firsthand. This stereoscopic card offers viewers a unique perspective on an iconic landmark that has become synonymous with American history and artistic excellence. Preserved through stereoscopic photography by Kilburn Brothers, this print serves as a testament to Frederic Auguste Bartholdi's enduring legacy as well as his contribution to both French and American artistry.
