EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Grant Memorial At Capitol, Pedestals For Statue And Groups of Statuary, 1911," is a stunning black-and-white image capturing the early stages of the construction of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in Washington, D.C. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, specifically by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze. The image showcases two of the four bronze lions standing on their pedestals before the erection of the equestrian statue of General Ulysses S. Grant. The lions, symbolizing the power and strength of Grant, are intricately detailed, their muscles taut and their expressions fierce. The pedestals, made of metal, stand tall and proud, ready to support the future statue. The Grant Memorial, located in the Capitol Grounds, was a tribute to the 18th President of the United States, who led the Union Army to victory during the American Civil War. The memorial was designed by Henry Merwin Shrady and was dedicated on April 27, 1922. This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. It is a snapshot of history, capturing the progress of the memorial's construction and the attention to detail given to every aspect of the project. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history and art.
