EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Garfield Statue, located in Washington, D. C. The Beaux-Arts Monument stands proudly amidst the grounds of the United States Capitol, serving as a memorial to President James A. Garfield. Designed by John Quincy Adams Ward, this architectural masterpiece pays homage to the esteemed president who was elected in 1880 but tragically assassinated in 1881. The image showcases the statue against a backdrop of historic buildings and bustling city life. In its monochrome glory, it exudes a sense of timeless elegance and significance. A group of background people adds depth to the scene, emphasizing that this monument is not just an artistic creation but also an integral part of American history. As we delve into Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's book "A Tour Through the New World America" we are transported back to late 19th century America - a time when art and architecture were intertwined with concepts such as crime, law, literature, and politics. This photograph invites us to contemplate both the beauty of this allegorical figure and its deeper meaning within our country's narrative. It serves as a poignant reminder of President Garfield's legacy while showcasing the talent and vision behind its creation by George R Cromwell himself. In preserving this moment frozen in time through Heritage Images' collection, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also reflect on how art has always played a vital role in shaping our nation's identity.
