EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the bustling streets of Washington DC in 1882. The focal point of this historic illustration is the magnificent new building that housed the Departments of State, Army, and Navy, later known as the Executive Office Building. Standing proudly amidst a backdrop of traditional American architecture, this structure symbolizes power and authority. The scene comes alive with its vibrant colors and intricate details. A horse-drawn carriage gracefully passes by on the cobblestone street, transporting individuals who are undoubtedly engaged in matters of great importance. It is fascinating to witness how transportation methods have evolved over time. This print not only showcases a significant moment in history but also highlights the heritage and culture that define our nation's capital.
