EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1909 and 1923, captures the majestic Washington Monument standing proudly in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the Neoclassical design of the monument, with its tall, tapering obelisk and intricately detailed pillars. The Washington Monument, a symbol of American history and democracy, was the tallest structure in the world when it was completed in 1884. In this photograph, the monument's facade is bathed in soft light, highlighting the glass-like texture of the stone and the delicate lines of the columns. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which features over 100,000 glass negatives taken by the Washington D.C. photographic studio between 1912 and 1955. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was one of the most prominent in the United States during the early 20th century, providing images for publications, advertisements, and personal collections. This photograph, taken during the 1910s or 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Washington Monument was a new and awe-inspiring symbol of American pride.
