EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1901, captures the exterior of General Ulysses S. Grant's Tomb located in New York, New York. The mausoleum, which was completed in 1897, stands proudly against the backdrop of the city's skyline. The glass transparency, created by an unknown photographer, offers a unique perspective of the historic site, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of the monument's architecture. General Grant, who served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877, is buried in this impressive structure along with his wife, Julia Dent Grant. The tomb, which is situated in Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River, is a popular tourist destination and a significant piece of American history. The sepulchral monument, designed by John H. Duncan, features a large dome with a bronze statue of Grant atop it. The exterior is adorned with intricate details, including Doric columns and ornate carvings. The tomb's location in New York City, which was a hub of commerce and industry during the early 1900s, adds to its historical significance. This photograph, which is part of the Detroit Publishing Company's collection at the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States. The image, with its crisp lines and contrast, also showcases the beauty and elegance of the tomb's design, making it a must-see destination for both history buffs and photography enthusiasts.
