The detail shows a printing press, a subject that sets this carving apart from the many other images of Washington monuments and civic buildings on this board. Carl Paul Jennewein, a German-born sculptor who worked in New York, produced architectural reliefs and decorative pieces in the 1920s and 1930s, when public buildings often honored craft, industry and the written word. Printing scenes like this one reflect that era's pride in mechanical skill and in the presses that produced government documents and newspapers. Look closely at the press's levers and the workers' stances, which show how carefully the sculptor observed real equipment.
