EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the year 1863, offering a glimpse into the historical landscape of Washington, D. C. The image showcases the iconic National Mall from an elevated perspective on the roof of the Smithsonian Institution. As our eyes wander across this vast expanse, we are immediately drawn towards the majestic United States Capitol building standing proudly at its end. However, what makes this particular view even more intriguing is that it captures the Capitol's dome during its construction phase. We can see scaffolding enveloping its structure as workers diligently toil away to complete this architectural masterpiece. This detail serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since then and symbolizes progress and growth. The composition of this photograph beautifully frames not only the Capitol but also includes elements such as roads, walkways, and spires that add depth and character to the scene. The mid-19th-century cityscape surrounding the National Mall further immerses us in a bygone era. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this remarkable print transports us back in time while inviting contemplation about America's rich history and enduring landmarks. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and national pride—a timeless piece capturing an important chapter in American history for all admirers of art and heritage alike.
