De Kalb Monument - Historical Obelisk Memorial Illustration #181533 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed black-and-white engraving depicts the De Kalb Monument-a neoclassical obelisk commemorating Major General Johann de Kalb, who died during the American Revolutionary War. The monument features a star at its apex, a circular wreath inscription reading “DE KALB,” and engraved plaques on its base, all framed by dense shrubbery and a slender tree. The stepped stone platform and fine linework suggest a formal memorial site, likely from a historical publication or commemorative print.
