This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases The Grand Circle with the Columbus Monument in the heart of New York City, USA. Completed and erected in 1904 as part of New York's 1892 commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the Americas, the traffic circle and monument continue to stand as significant historical landmarks. The Grand Circle, also known as Columbus Circle, is a large circular traffic rotary at the southwestern terminus of Central Park in Manhattan. The monument at its center, designed by Gaetano Russo, features a 14-foot-tall statue of Christopher Columbus standing atop a 76-foot-tall pedestal. The monument's base is adorned with intricate bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Columbus' voyages and discoveries. In this photograph, we see the hustle and bustle of the city coming to a halt as trams and cars navigate the circle.
