General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument, Washington, D.C. between 1913 and 1917. [Detail of the base of an equestrian statue of American Civil War Major General William Tecumseh Sherman. "War", on the west side, is a horrible fury, seething with rage and hatred, who tramples humanity in the form of a dead young soldier at her feet. Large bronze vultures perch on the body about to feast on its flesh, graphically driving home Sherman's famous observation that "war is hell".']

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the base of the equestrian statue of Major General William Tecumseh Sherman, located in Washington, D.C. between 1913 and 1917. The statue, created by Carl Vilhelm Daniel Rohl-Smith, is an allegorical representation of Sherman's famous observation that "war is hell." The west side of the base depicts the allegorical figure of "War," portrayed as a horrible fury, seething with rage and hatred. She tramples humanity in the form of a dead young soldier at her feet, while large bronze vultures perch on the body, ready to feast on its flesh. This graphic depiction of death and destruction underscores the horrors of war. The statue, which stands at the National Register of Historic Places, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio in Washington, D.C. during the early 20th century.
