EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Major Pierre L'Enfant of France, Views of Tomb And of Mansion, from Down Hill," was captured by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing, in the 1910s. The image depicts the exterior of Arlington House, located in Arlington County, Virginia, United States, which was once the home of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee. In the background, the tomb of Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the French-born architect, engineer, and city planner, who designed the spatial plan for Washington, D.C, is visible. L'Enfant's tomb is situated in Arlington National Cemetery. The historic mansion, also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion, was named after its original owners, the Custis family. Later, it became the residence of Robert E. Lee from 1857 until the outbreak of the American Civil War. The mansion, with its grand architecture, stands proudly on a hill overlooking the Potomac River. The American flag flies high from the flagpole, adding to the patriotic ambiance. This photograph is an essential piece of American history, capturing the beauty and significance of Arlington House and the tomb of Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George H. Harris, George W. Harris, and Martha E. Kuntze, was one of the most prominent photographic studios in the United States during the early 20th century. Their work continues to provide a visual record of American history, culture, and society.
