EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Statue of Simon Bolivar in Central Park, New York. Taken by Edward Anthony in the late 19th century, this gelatin silver print showcases the equestrian sculpture created by Rafael de la Cova. The statue depicts Simon Bolivar, a prominent Venezuelan military and political leader who played a crucial role in South America's struggle for independence from Spanish rule. The majestic bronze figure of Bolivar on horseback is seen proudly wielding his sword, symbolizing his leadership and dedication to freedom. Positioned on a plinth against the backdrop of lush greenery, this monumental artwork stands as an enduring testament to Bolivar's legacy. Anthony skillfully captures every intricate detail of the sculpture with his camera lens, highlighting its artistic brilliance. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the image, emphasizing both the strength of Bolivar's character and the power he wielded during times of war. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to a Victorian era when artistry merged with historical significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Bolivar's significant contributions but also as an appreciation for Anthony's talent in capturing such moments through photography.
