This item is a perspective view of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., a drawing-style rendering that presents the building as an architect imagined it. The record labels the style Gothic, which is worth noting because the Library's main building, the Thomas Jefferson Building completed in 1897, is generally described as Italian Renaissance in its detailing. Architectural perspectives like this were used to explain a design to clients, officials, and the public, and this black-and-white film copy preserves the line work and massing so researchers can study the composition.
