This print takes us back to the year 1855, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Capitol of the United States in Washington DC. The artist, J Andrews, skillfully captures the architectural marvel that stood as a symbol of American democracy during the 19th century. The image is an engraving from John Howard Hinton's renowned publication, "History and Topography of the United States of North America".

In this particular print, we see the majestic dome crowning the Capitol building against a backdrop of serene landscapes. The classical design exudes elegance and power while reflecting a sense of pride for our young nation.
