EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1862, offering a mesmerizing birds-eye view of Washington, D. C. The city's skyline is beautifully captured in this steel engraving, showcasing its architectural grandeur and historical significance. Standing tall and proud at the heart of it all is the Capitol building, with its new dome depicted as being finished. The image transports us to a time when America was undergoing significant changes and growth. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like in this bustling city over a century ago. From the middle ground where buildings stretch out towards the horizon, we can appreciate how Washington's urban landscape has evolved throughout history. The aerial perspective reveals not only the majestic Capitol Hill but also two iconic rivers that grace this capital city: the Potomac River and Anacostia River. These waterways served as vital transportation routes during that era and continue to be integral parts of Washington's charm today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of our nation's rich heritage and enduring spirit. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress while inviting us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days in our nation's capital.
