EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942, showcases the Thomas Circle Monument in Washington, D.C. The monument's centerpiece is the equestrian statue of General George Henry Thomas, a prominent Union Army commander during the American Civil War. The statue, sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward, was unveiled in 1870 and is a significant tribute to Thomas' military achievements and contributions to the country. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the monument, with Thomas, depicted as a confident and resolute rider, atop his horse. The surrounding architecture, including the ornate columns and intricate details, adds to the monument's historical and artistic significance. The image also highlights the beauty and power of the horses, which are depicted with a sense of grace and strength. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and history, and is an important addition to the vast collection at the Library of Congress. The image's timeless quality, combined with the historical significance of the subject matter, makes it a must-see for anyone interested in American history, military history, or art. The photograph, which is believed to be a nitrate negative, is a reminder of the beauty and importance of preserving historical art and artifacts for future generations. The image's composition, lighting, and attention to detail make it a standout piece in the Genthe Collection and a valuable addition to any art or history enthusiast's collection.
