This picture is a perspective view of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., rendered as a drawing and preserved as a photographic print mounted on illustration board. Such views were typically made to show a building's appearance before or during construction, so they reflect the architect's intentions as much as the finished structure. The Library's main building, the Thomas Jefferson Building, opened in 1897 in an elaborate Beaux-Arts style. The record places the item in the Architectural and Engineering drawings collection of the Prints and Photographs Division, which holds plans and renderings like this one.
