This print takes us back in time to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into Washington DC's rich history. The image showcases the city as it appeared in 1810, seen from Capitol Hill. With its hand-colored woodcut technique, this vintage illustration beautifully captures the essence of an era long gone. In the foreground, we are presented with a panoramic view of Washington DC's charming streets and buildings. The bustling cityscape is dominated by Pennsylvania Avenue, lined with elegant structures that exude heritage and tradition. Amidst this vibrant scene lies the original Capitol building, standing proudly at its center. A fascinating detail captured in an inset view on the upper right corner reveals the unfortunate fate that befell this iconic structure.
