EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the construction of the Senate wing (west, front) of the United States Capitol in Washington, D. C. Taken around 1862, during a pivotal time in American history, this image showcases the dedication and engineering prowess required to build such an iconic structure. In the foreground, we see a group of workmen diligently working on scaffolding and cranes as they contribute to the construction efforts. Their presence highlights not only their physical labor but also their role in shaping democracy within these walls. The Capitol's grandeur is evident even in its unfinished state. The exterior displays remarkable architectural details that would later become synonymous with Capitol Hill. This photo serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and perseverance. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to a time when our nation was divided yet united under one common goal: progress. It reminds us of how far we have come as a country and inspires us to continue building upon the foundations laid by those who came before us.
