EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Chalmette Monument, standing tall on the historic Battlefield of New Orleans in Louisiana, USA. Created around 1900 by an unknown artist, this image transports us back to a significant moment in American history. The Chalmette Monument serves as a powerful tribute to the brave Americans who valiantly fought against the British Army during the Battle of New Orleans on January 8th, 1815. Its construction began in 1855 with an Egyptian Revival design but faced financial constraints that delayed its completion until 1908. Captured within this monochrome frame is not just a mere obelisk; it represents resilience and sacrifice. The monument's presence amidst Chalmette National Cemetery evokes emotions of remembrance and honor for those who lost their lives defending their country. Professor George R. Cromwell curated this remarkable photograph as part of his collection titled "Scenic Marvels of the New World". Through his lens, he immortalizes both the unfinished structure and its surrounding landscape with great precision. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of America's rich heritage and how even incomplete monuments can hold profound meaning. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles and triumphs.
