1871 Capitol Capitol Hill Dome Garden Horizon Outdoor Scenic View Smithsonian Institution Washington Monument Botanic
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph from 1871 captures a bird's-eye view of Washington, D. C. , showcasing the city's iconic landmarks and its grandeur during that time. In the foreground stands the majestic Capitol building, with its imposing dome reaching towards the sky. As our gaze extends beyond, we are greeted by the lush greenery of the U. S. Botanic Garden, adding a touch of serenity to this bustling metropolis. In the distance, rising proudly against the horizon, is none other than the magnificent Washington Monument. Its towering presence serves as a reminder of America's rich history and enduring spirit. The Smithsonian Institution also finds its place in this panoramic scene, symbolizing knowledge and discovery. The artist has masterfully captured not only these architectural marvels but also their harmonious coexistence within nature's embrace. The sprawling landscape surrounding these structures showcases an outdoor oasis amidst urban development. As we delve into this print, it transports us back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and gas lamps illuminated evening strolls along Capitol Hill. It offers us a glimpse into late 19th-century America - vibrant, ambitious, and full of promise. This Granger Collection artwork invites us to appreciate both Washington D. C. 's historical significance and its timeless beauty through intricate details brought forth by chromolithography techniques.
