EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first version elevation of Monticello, a masterpiece crafted by the brilliant mind of Thomas Jefferson. Believed to have been created before March 1771, this brown ink on laid paper drawing provides a glimpse into the early stages of one of America's most iconic architectural wonders. Monticello, with its Palladian style and majestic columns, stands as a testament to Jefferson's visionary genius. This neo-classical marvel would later become the beloved home of Thomas Jefferson himself, who also served as an esteemed American president. The Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston is fortunate to house this remarkable piece that measures 35.4x48.9 cm. The intricate details and meticulous design captured within this architectural drawing are truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of Monticello - a symbol of elegance and sophistication nestled in Charlottesville, Virginia. Its grandeur serves as a reminder not only of Jefferson's brilliance but also his enduring legacy. Let us appreciate this extraordinary work for what it represents - an embodiment of American history and ingenuity that continues to inspire generations today.
