EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942, showcases a stunning equestrian statue of Francis Asbury located in Washington, D.C. The statue, sculpted by Henry Augustus Lukeman, stands proudly amidst the city's architectural landscape. Asbury, an influential figure in American Christianity, served as a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1771 until his death in 1816. The statue depicts Asbury in full regalia, seated atop a majestic horse, surrounded by other horsemen and riders. The horses, with their powerful forms and expressive eyes, add to the grandeur of the scene. The equestrian statues, a common sight in Washington, D.C., were particularly popular during the early 20th century, and this one, in particular, is a testament to the city's rich heritage and artistic legacy. The photograph, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance. The image captures the essence of the era, with the black and white tones lending an air of timelessness and nostalgia. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the people, places, and events that shaped American history.
