EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942, showcases a collection of equestrian statues located in Washington, D.C. Among them stands out the bronze sculpture of Brigadier General James B. McPherson, created by Louis Rebisso. The image transports us back in time to the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of American art and history. General McPherson, a prominent figure during the American Civil War, is depicted as a confident and resilient horseman, riding high on his steed. The statue, with its intricate details and lifelike features, captures the essence of both the man and the military officer he once was. The statue's placement among other equestrian statues in the heart of the nation's capital adds to its grandeur, emphasizing the significance of these historical figures in American history. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer, expertly captures the scene with his nitrate negative technique, resulting in a stunning, high-contrast image. The photograph, a part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the beauty and importance of historical preservation. The image invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the artistry of the sculpture, and marvel at the majesty of the horse and rider. The equestrian statues in this photograph serve as a reminder of the country's military and artistic heritage, and the image itself is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or art.
