EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the West Front of the United States Capitol around 1831. The grandeur of the Capitol building is evident, with the Tripoli Monument standing proudly at its center. This monument honors the American valor during the Barbary Wars of 1804, a series of conflicts between the United States and the Barbary States of the Mediterranean. The monument was originally placed on the Capitol grounds in 1818 but was moved to this location in 1831. However, the serene atmosphere of this drawing is not just about politics and history. The foreground of the image is graced by a herd of cows, adding a pastoral touch to the scene. These cows, with their peaceful demeanor, contrast sharply with the grandiosity of the Capitol building, reminding us of the harmonious coexistence of nature and civilization. The wooden fence that delineates the Capitol grounds can also be seen in the drawing. This fence, a simple yet effective boundary, adds to the rustic charm of the image and emphasizes the sense of isolation from the hustle and bustle of the city. This drawing, sourced from Pam Scott's collection in 2011, provides a unique perspective of the Capitol building during an era when the United States was still finding its footing on the global stage. It is a testament to the enduring beauty of history and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
