EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in Washington, D.C., between 1911 and 1942. The memorial, designed by Henry Mervin Shrady and completed in 1897, features a large equestrian statue of General Ulysses S. Grant, the Union Army commander during the American Civil War. The statue depicts Grant on horseback, leading his cavalry charge against Confederate forces. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, offers a detailed view of the memorial's intricate design. The bronze statue, which stands atop a pedestal adorned with reliefs of various military scenes, is surrounded by a lush, green landscape. The horses in the cavalry charge group are depicted with their hooves raised, as if charging forward into battle. The statue's intricate details, such as the folds in Grant's uniform and the textures of the horses' coats, are beautifully captured in this nitrate negative image. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of American art and architecture. The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial stands as a symbol of the country's past, honoring a military leader who played a pivotal role in shaping its future. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period of American history marked by significant change and growth.
