Among the National Photo Company's views of American towns, this glass negative centers on a Confederate monument in Alexandria, Virginia, a city just across the Potomac from Washington. The title comes from information the company recorded on the negatives or their sleeves and has not been independently verified. Monuments of this kind rose across the South in the decades after the Civil War, many dedicated between the 1890s and the 1920s, a period when memorial building often shaped how the war was remembered in public spaces. The glass plate shows the streaks and blemishes typical of aging emulsion coatings.
