A night view is an unusual choice for an architectural rendering, since most drawings of civic buildings show them in clear daylight. Here the artist has placed the library's exterior in darkness, with the lit windows and entrance doing most of the work of defining its shape. Renderings like this were usually made before construction to help officials, donors and residents picture a proposed building, and an evening scene let designers show how the structure would look as a bright public gathering place after dark. The drawing records a plan rather than a finished building, so its details reflect what the designers hoped the library would be.
