Rather than an exterior view, this drawing is a section cut along line A/B through the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Its ink and color-ink linework comes from the library's architectural and engineering holdings, a body of building drawings kept by the Prints and Photographs Division. Sections like this one showed how floors, stacks, and reading rooms related to one another inside a large building, which makes them useful for understanding how the institution was laid out. The record does not name the draftsman or give a precise date, so the drawing's origin is best confirmed through the library's own finding aid.
