EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history. Taken around 1860, this image showcases one of the wings of the Capitol building in Washington DC nearing completion. The extension of the US Capitol during the mid-19th century symbolized not only architectural progress but also reflected the growth and development of a young nation. The photograph, part of Mathew Brady's renowned collection "Historian with a Camera" offers a glimpse into an era when construction sites were bustling with activity. It serves as a metaphor for both physical expansion and political aspirations, representing America's ambition to build not just structures but also its democratic foundations. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print transports us back to a time when Washington DC was still evolving into what it is today – a city that houses one of the most powerful governments in the world. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how far our country has come since those early days. James D Horan's book further contextualizes this image within its broader historical significance. Together with Mathew Brady's masterful eye for detail, they provide us with an invaluable record that allows us to appreciate and understand our nation's past. As we contemplate this photograph, let us reflect on how these buildings continue to shape our present while reminding us never to forget where we came from.
