EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1880 and 1897 by William H. Jackson, captures the Lafayette Monument in its grandeur. The monument, located in the United States, is a tribute to the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer who played a significant role in the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783. The monument was designed by three prominent French sculptors: Alexandre Falguiere, Antonin Mercie, and Edwin H. Husser. Falguiere, who sculpted the figure of Lafayette, depicted him as a heroic and noble figure, clad in military uniform and holding a sword. The monument stands tall and proud, a testament to the enduring legacy of the American Revolution and the key role that Lafayette played in its success. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative process, a common photographic technique of the time. The image is crisp and clear, with intricate details visible in the texture of the monument and the folds of Lafayette's uniform. The monument is surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the sense of history and heritage that the photograph conveys. The Lafayette Monument is a cherished symbol of the transatlantic alliance between France and the United States during the American Revolution. It stands as a reminder of the bravery and heroism of Lafayette and the other soldiers who fought for American independence. This photograph, taken by William H. Jackson, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse into the rich history of the United States and its relationship with France.
