EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Plan of the principal story of the White House from 1807" takes us back in time to witness the grandeur and elegance of one of America's most iconic landmarks. Created by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, a renowned architect, this print showcases the original design for the official residence of the President of the United States. The White House, as we know it today, was not always as it appears. This lithograph depicts its appearance before tragedy struck in 1814 when British troops set fire to this magnificent structure during the War of 1812. The plan reveals a neo-classical architectural style that exudes power and sophistication. From an aerial perspective, we can appreciate every intricate detail etched into this engraving. The floor plan highlights various rooms and spaces within the building, offering insight into how each area was meticulously designed to serve its purpose. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of American history frozen in ink on paper. It serves as a reminder that even through adversity and destruction, resilience prevails – evident in how quickly the White House was rebuilt after its devastating encounter with flames. This print is not just an artistic representation; it symbolizes strength and endurance while capturing a momentous period in American history. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past and honor those who have walked these hallowed halls before us.
