EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S. Capitol - Pediment On House Front; Sculpture By Paul Bartlett, 1916," showcases an intriguing moment in the installation of the "Apotheosis of Democracy" marble relief sculpture at the United States Capitol. Created by renowned American artist Paul Wayland Bartlett, the sculpture is depicted being carefully lifted and positioned into place on the Capitol building's pediment by a team of skilled workers. The image captures the essence of the 1910s era with the use of heavy lifting gear, overalls, and the distinctive cranes that dominated the construction sites of the time. The sculpture, which represents the apotheosis or highest point of democracy, adds a grand architectural feature to the Capitol's portico, enhancing its historical significance and artistic value. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship required to bring such a monumental work of art to life, making it an essential addition to any collection of American history, art, or architecture.
