The reading room in this view is lined floor to ceiling with wooden bookshelves, and the stacks of books on the tables and shelves suggest a working collection rather than a showpiece. Interiors like this were common in American public and institutional libraries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when open shelving and generous natural light were becoming standard features of new buildings. Pictures of this kind document how readers moved through such rooms, and they are useful for seeing the furniture, lighting and shelving methods of the period.
