EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pierre L'Enfant, Major of France - Dedication of Tomb And Memorial At Arlington, April 28, 1909," captures a significant moment in the history of Arlington National Cemetery. The image was created by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing. Pierre Charles L'Enfant was a French-American military engineer who designed the basic plan for Washington, D.C. He died in poverty in 1825 and was originally buried at the Green Hill farm in Chillum, Prince George's County, Maryland. However, due to pressure from the French ambassador to the United States, he was eventually re-interred in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The photograph depicts the dedication ceremony of L'Enfant's tomb and memorial on April 28, 1909. The scene is filled with a sense of solemnity and respect as men in uniform stand at attention, flags at half-mast. The mausoleum, which now serves as L'Enfant's final resting place, can be seen in the background. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent photographic studio in Washington, D.C. during the early 20th century. This image is a testament to their ability to capture historical moments and preserve them for future generations. The dedication of L'Enfant's tomb and memorial was a significant event in the history of Arlington National Cemetery and the United States as a whole.
