EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, was undergoing construction in the summer of 1863. The image, taken on July 11, focuses on the east front of the building, with the iconic Statue of George Washington in the foreground. Sculpted by Horatio Greenough and installed in 1860, the statue stands proudly, overseeing the progress of the Capitol. A group of curious sightseers can be seen gathered near the statue, taking in the impressive view. Their presence adds a sense of scale to the image, highlighting the grandeur of the building and the awe-inspiring nature of the scene. The Capitol, still under construction, looms in the background, a testament to the determination and vision of those who worked to build it. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when the Capitol was not yet complete but already a source of pride and wonder. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring symbolism of George Washington, who continues to be revered as the father of his country and a guiding figure for generations to come.
