EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Washington Monument as it stood for 25 years, circa 1860. The creator of this remarkable image is none other than Mathew Brady, renowned for his significant contributions to American photography during the 19th century. The Washington Monument, a grand obelisk constructed in honor of George Washington, began its journey in 1848 and was finally completed in 1884. This still image showcases the monument's unfinished state during its early years, revealing the intricate details of its construction site. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the monument's enduring significance. Brady's expertise is evident in his composition and attention to detail; every stone and marble slab appears meticulously captured. As one gazes upon this historic landmark nestled within the landscape of Washington D. C. , it becomes clear why it has become such an enduring tourist attraction over time. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this glass negative from Brady's handy collection serves as a testament to America's architectural heritage. It invites viewers to reflect on our country's rich history while appreciating both Brady's artistic vision and his contribution to documenting important moments throughout American history
