From the Senate wing of the Capitol, this view looks across the grounds toward the Library of Congress, the institution that grew out of the national library Congress first housed in the Capitol itself. The Library moved into its own building, now called the Thomas Jefferson Building, which opened in 1897 after decades of crowded quarters under the Capitol's roof. Its Beaux-Arts design was meant to show the young republic's commitment to learning, and the building remains one of the most ornate public structures in Washington. The record gives few details about the drawing's maker, so the view is best read as a record of how the two buildings stood in relation to each other.
