EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Monument to the Unknown Dead at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, United States, around the turn of the 20th century. The monument, also known as the Civil War Unknowns Monument, is a tribute to the soldiers who died in the American Civil War whose identities were never determined. The monument, located at the entrance of the cemetery, stands tall and imposing against a backdrop of rolling green hills and trees. The intricately designed structure is adorned with various military insignia and symbols, reflecting the collective sacrifice of the unknown soldiers. The monument's central feature is a large vault, which once contained the remains of an unidentified Union soldier exhumed from a battlefield in Virginia. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative process, captures the monument in its timeless beauty and solemnity. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during the American Civil War and serves as a powerful symbol of national heritage and historical significance. The photograph was likely taken by an unknown photographer, possibly for the Detroit Publishing Company or one of its affiliates, such as Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress and serves as an important historical record of a significant American landmark.
