The Capitol at Washington - A Glimpse into 19th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving of "The Capitol at Washington" takes us back to the vibrant era of the 19th century. The image, hand-coloured in the exquisite Victorian style, showcases the iconic building that represents American democracy and power. As we delve into this historical print, our eyes are drawn to a bustling scene filled with various modes of transportation. A carriage and post chaise traverse the streets alongside a luxurious Pullman car, reflecting the evolving means of travel during that time. In contrast, pedestrians stroll leisurely with their walking sticks and canes, adding an air of sophistication to this lively cityscape. Amidst all this activity, horses take center stage - racehorses gallop gracefully while ponies and shire horses stand proudly as symbols of strength and beauty. These animals remind us of America's deep connection with its wildlife and agricultural heritage. The grandeur of neoclassical architecture is evident in the majestic dome crowning The Capitol building. Its presence commands attention amidst a crowd gathered on what appears to be National Mall – a social hub where people from all walks of life converge. This enchanting engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into American history. It reminds us how far we have come since those early days when America was still shaping its identity as a nation within North America's vast continent.
