Louis Berge's *Capitol March*, published as Opus 45 by John J. Daly and lithographed by Sarony, puts the U.S. Capitol itself at the center of its cover around 1861. That was the year Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office on the building's unfinished east front, while the wings were still being extended and the cast-iron dome was under construction. Covers like this one were meant to sell sheet music, but they also show how the public liked to picture the capital's landmark at a moment of national strain.
