EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American history - the publication of the "Plan of Washington D. C" in the Gazette of the United States, Philadelphia on January 4th, 1792. The engraving, created by Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, showcases his vision for the seat of government of the United States. In this detailed map, we see an urban landscape taking shape along the Potomac River. The layout includes iconic landmarks such as the President's House and various streets that would soon become bustling avenues filled with life and activity. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic representation but also in its historical context. It serves as a testament to L'Enfant's contribution to shaping one of America's most important cities. His design principles continue to influence urban planning even today. This particular print is part of a private collection and offers viewers a glimpse into our nation's past. As we observe this piece, let us appreciate how far Washington D. C. has come since its inception over two centuries ago while acknowledging its continued importance as a symbol of democracy and governance for all Americans.
