Lindbergh stands on a podium on the grounds of the Washington Monument, with an Army band in the foreground, during his June 1927 reception in the capital. The photograph comes just three weeks after he landed at Le Bourget in Paris, completing the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic. Washington's official welcome drew large crowds, and the military band signals the formal, ceremonial character of the day. The picture captures how quickly Lindbergh became a national hero, with the Monument's obelisk rising behind the crowd.
