Aerial View of the Capitol Building in Washington, USA, Following the Worst Blizzard in Decades (1 February 1935) This evocative photograph captures an aerial view of the iconic Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., following the devastating blizzard of February 1, 1935. The worst snowstorm in decades had hit the eastern United States, leaving behind a winter wonderland that transformed the capital city. The classical dome of the Capitol Building, a symbol of American democracy and political power, is prominently featured in the image, blanketed in a thick layer of snow. The snowfall during the 1935 blizzard was extreme, with some areas receiving up to 30 inches (76 cm) of snow. The storm caused widespread power outages, transportation disruptions, and property damage. The image serves as a stark reminder of the raw power of nature and the resilience of the American people in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken from an aerial perspective, offers a unique and breathtaking view of the Capitol Building, which is usually bustling with activity. The snowfall adds a serene and tranquil quality to the image, making it a beautiful and captivating representation of winter in the United States during the 1930s. This photograph is part of The John Barrett Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a testament to the historical significance of weather events and their impact on communities. It is a valuable addition to any collection that showcases the history and culture of the United States during the 1930s.
