EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Columbus Fountain and statue in front of Union Station, Washington, D. C. around 1943. Designed by the renowned artist Lorado Taft, this marble sculpture was unveiled in 1912 as a commemoration to Christopher Columbus, the explorer who paved the way for European colonization of the Americas. The photograph showcases the intricate details of this remarkable artwork. Standing tall at its center is Christopher Columbus himself, while a Native American figure kneels beside him, symbolizing both their encounter and subsequent consequences. A majestic lion also accompanies them, representing strength and power. A sign prominently displayed warns against climbing upon or damaging this significant memorial – an act punishable by fine or imprisonment. The presence of flags fluttering proudly in the background adds a patriotic touch to this historical scene. Taken during World War II, this image holds even deeper meaning as it reflects America's identity during that tumultuous period. It serves as a reminder of our country's heritage and colonial history while evoking notions of exploration and conquest. Preserved by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), this still image now resides within the Library of Congress' vast collection. Its timeless beauty transports us back to an era when art played a crucial role in shaping national consciousness. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come as a nation - acknowledging both triumphs and challenges along our journey towards progress.
