Well, not an image of a monument but Robert E. Lee (junior) writes about an 1889 unveiling:
It is a 4 page ANS of Robert E. Lee's son (a former Capt in the CSA) dated at Romancoke (May 1889) saying he can not attend the unveiling of a monument to the Confederate dead in Alexandria, VA by the RE Lee Camp.
This is the monument that was recently in the news. On June 2, 2020, the bronze portion of the statue was removed in response to the protests that followed the May 2020 death of George Floyd and the pedestal was removed the weekend of June 20th.
