EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the grandeur of the Columbus Memorial, also known as the Columbus Fountain, located in Washington, D.C. The memorial, designed by renowned American sculptor Lorado Taft, was unveiled in 1912. The statue of Christopher Columbus, depicted here with his hand raised, stands atop a tall pedestal surrounded by four figures representing the Old World and the New World. The fountain was a celebration of Columbus's role in discovering America and the influence of European culture on the New World. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the patriotic spirit of the early 20th century, with American flags flying high in the background. The controversy surrounding Columbus's legacy as a colonizer and invader is not evident in this photograph, which instead focuses on the historical significance and artistic beauty of the monument. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, includes numerous glass negatives from the early 1900s, documenting the people, places, and events of the time. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America and the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and inspire awe.
