EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bird's eye view of the City of Washington in 1861, with the iconic Capitol building under construction in the foreground. The image has been digitally cleaned, bringing out its intricate details and allowing us to appreciate the architectural marvels of that era. The engraving, created by an English School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us to a time when this bustling city was still evolving. The Capitol, with its grand cupola and majestic wings, stands proudly amidst other buildings that make up this panoramic view. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we can't help but imagine how it must have felt to witness such progress taking place before one's eyes. The cityscape reflects both ambition and determination as it transforms into what would become the capital of one of the most powerful nations on Earth. This photograph is part of Look and Learn / Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection and belongs to a private collection. It originally appeared in Illustrated London News on May 25th, 1861. Its presence here allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a reminder of our rich history. Through this image, we are reminded that cities are living entities constantly changing and growing over time. And while Washington D. C. 's skyline may look vastly different today than it did in 1861, this engraving captures an important moment in its evolution - forever frozen in time for us to admire and reflect upon.
