EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken on July 12, 1834, showcases the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of The Capitol building in Washington, D.C., USA, during the 1830s. The photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Terry Parker, transports us back in time to an era of classical architecture and governmental innovation. The Capitol, a symbol of American democracy, is depicted in its early stages of development, with the dome still under construction. The building's intricate design, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, is evident in the columns and pediments adorning the facade. The large, ornate mirror reflects the Capitol's majestic exterior, adding depth and dimension to the photograph. The Capitol, completed in 1800, has served as the seat of the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States ever since. Its construction marked a significant milestone in American history, as the young nation sought to establish a strong and stable government. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a unique glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that defines the United States and its government. The Capitol building, a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation and progress, continues to stand as a beacon of democracy and freedom for the American people and the world.
