EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Walls and round tower by the water, Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image showcases the historic Castillo de San Marcos fortification, located in the ancient city of St. Augustine, Florida. The fort, a National Monument and the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, stands proudly against the backdrop of the tranquil coastal waters. The round tower, a distinctive feature of the fort, is surrounded by the protective walls, which have weathered the test of time. The image captures the unique blend of history, architecture, and geography that makes St. Augustine such a popular tourist destination. The fort, built in the late 17th century, has played a significant role in the country's history, serving as a Spanish fort, a British prison, and a U.S. military installation. Genthe's photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of this iconic landmark. The nitrate negative, held in the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fort was a vital part of the country's military defense system. The image, with its rich textures and contrasts, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, architecture, or photography.
