EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, showcases the impressive interior of Regg's Library, located at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The library, also known as Riggs Library, was a significant addition to the university during this period, constructed to provide a fireproof facility for the growing collection of books. The architectural style of the library is a unique blend of cast iron, glass, and ironwork, which was popular during the early 20th century. The library's interior is adorned with tall, ornate bookshelves made of cast iron, capable of holding an extensive collection of books. The shelves are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, creating a sense of order and harmony within the space. The library's interior is bathed in soft, natural light that filters in through the large windows, casting intriguing shadows on the walls and adding depth to the photograph. The walkways between the bookshelves provide a sense of accessibility and invite exploration, making the library an inviting and welcoming place for students and scholars. At the time, Regg's Library was considered a state-of-the-art facility, featuring the latest in fireproof construction techniques and materials. It was also a significant resource for the university community, providing access to a vast collection of books and resources for research and study. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Georgetown University and the importance of libraries as institutions of knowledge and learning. The image, captured on a dry plate or glass negative, has been carefully preserved and remains an enduring symbol of the university's commitment to education and the pursuit of knowledge.
