Among the Washington, DC views on this board, this one is catalogued as an architectural drawing rather than a street scene or photograph of a landmark. Drawings like this were how designers and builders planned buildings during the capital's early decades, when the city was still taking shape from Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1791 plan. Such drawings record proportions, façades, and layouts that were later built, altered, or never realized, so they show intentions as much as finished results. Look closely at the linework, lettering, and any dimensions, which reveal how the draftsman conveyed scale and detail to clients and workers.
