This single sheet is an ink and gouache drawing titled "Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Section, D series," held in the Library's architectural and engineering drawings. The Library's institutional home was long a matter of planning and revision, and it moved into the Thomas Jefferson Building, which opened in 1897, after years of crowded quarters in the Capitol. Ink and gouache were common in architectural presentation work, where crisp linework and tinted washes made plans and sections easy to read. The record does not give a date or draftsman, so the sheet's exact place in the building's history is best traced through the Library's catalog.
