EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the grandeur and majesty of Washington, The Capitol, as depicted in Jules Ferrario's "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne". Created around 1820 by G. Castellini, this print showcases the iconic seat of power in North America. The neo-classical architecture stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its symmetrical design and imposing columns exude strength and authority, reflecting the ideals upon which the United States was founded. Originally designed by Dr. William Thornton in 1793, with modifications made by Benjamin Henry Latrobe from 1804 onwards, The Capitol has witnessed significant historical events. In 1814, British troops set fire to the building during the War of 1812 but it was rebuilt to become an enduring symbol of American democracy. As a meeting place for both houses of Congress – the House of Representatives and Senate – The Capitol represents not only government but also unity and collaboration among elected officials. It is within these hallowed halls that important decisions are made that shape our nation's future. This engraving from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Giulio Castellini's skillful rendering of this architectural masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be reminded of America's rich history and its enduring commitment to democratic principles.
