Description:: Card Text \(transcribed from postcard\): This imposing monument, situated in Libby Hill Park, is one of the landmarks of the City. It was unveiled May 30th, 1894, during a great reunion of Confederate Veterans. The column is a counterpart, on a reduced scale, of the famous pillar at Alexandria, Egypt, named after Pompey; and the colossal bronze figure surmounting it is that of a typical Confederate soldier; said to be one of the largest pieces of solid bronze ever cast in this country. Note: Series# 63133; Postmarked: 1912 City/Location: Richmond (Va.)
