A monument to Christopher Columbus is the subject here, photographed sometime between 1917 and 1919 by Harris & Ewing, a Washington, D.C. studio known for portraits and documentary views of the capital. The firm's work from these years often records public statuary and civic settings as they stood during the First World War era. The record does not name the exact site, so the image is best read as a snapshot of how the explorer was honored in public space, when Columbus monuments were common across the country.
