Rendered in ink and graphite, this drawing offers a front perspective of the Library of Congress, a view meant to convey the building's massing and ornament before construction was complete. The main library building, the Thomas Jefferson Building on Capitol Hill, was designed by John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz in the Beaux-Arts style and opened in 1897. Architectural drawings like this one are useful to researchers tracing how the design developed from early proposals to the finished façade.
