EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic John C. Calhoun monument in Marion Square, Charleston, South Carolina. The wood engraving was published in 1857, a year before the cornerstone of the actual monument was laid in 1858. However, due to various circumstances, it took nearly four decades for the construction to be completed in 1896. The image showcases this grand memorial that stands tall as a testament to American history and architecture. The imposing column-like structure with intricate engravings and pillars is an awe-inspiring sight against the backdrop of Charleston's charming cityscape. John C. Calhoun, an influential figure from South Carolina during the antebellum period, is commemorated by this magnificent statue. As viewers gaze upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to witness a piece of daily life from over a century ago. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured not only the physicality of this remarkable monument but also its historical significance within American society. This print serves as a reminder of our nation's complex past while inviting contemplation on how we remember and honor those who have shaped our collective identity.
