The Washington Monument in the District of Columbia is the subject here, and this print is one of many views of the obelisk that were made as it rose toward completion. Construction began in 1848, stalled for years after funding ran short and the Civil War intervened, and was finally finished in 1884, with the aluminum capstone set in place that December. The shelflist card associated with this print names a Fenderich, though no date or maker is recorded, so the specific origin of the image cannot be confirmed. Its subject, the memorial to George Washington, remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in the nation's capital.
