EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in Washington, D.C., between 1911 and 1942. The equestrian statue, designed by Henry Mervin Shrady and completed in 1897, is a tribute to the Union General and 18th President of the United States. The memorial is situated at the north end of the National Mall, overlooking the Potomac River. In this image, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, we see a cavalry charge scene depicted at the base of the memorial. The bronze horses and riders, part of the larger cavalry group, are shown in mid-charge, their hooves raised and ready to strike. The horses' manes and tails are blown back by the imagined wind, adding to the sense of motion and energy. The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial is a significant piece of American heritage art, representing the country's history and the legacy of a pivotal military and political figure. The statue is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Henry Mervin Shrady and serves as a reminder of the important role horses played in American history. This photograph, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the historical record of the memorial and the era in which it was taken. The image, captured in nitrate negative, is a striking example of the artistic and technical capabilities of the time.
