EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1861, providing a rare birds-eye view of Washington, D. C. during a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases the iconic Capitol building with its newly constructed dome still unfinished, symbolizing the nation's ongoing growth and progress. This wood engraving was sourced from an authentic contemporary American newspaper, adding to its historical significance. The sepia tones of this print evoke a sense of nostalgia and transport us to a bygone era. From this unique vantage point, we can observe the city's layout and architecture as it stood over 150 years ago. The sprawling metropolis is divided by the majestic Potomac River flowing through its center. In the middle ground stands the grand Capitol building on Capitol Hill, proudly representing democracy and governance in America. Its incomplete dome serves as a reminder that even during times of turmoil - such as the Civil War which loomed large at this time - progress continues unabated. As we gaze upon this aerial view, we are reminded of how far our nation has come since those tumultuous days in 1861. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate both our rich history and enduring resilience as Americans.
