Rendered in ink on paper, this perspective drawing shows the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in the kind of presentation view architects used to convey a building's overall design. Its record places it among the library's architectural drawings, so it documents the design rather than the finished building as a photograph would. The library's best-known structure is the Thomas Jefferson Building, completed in 1897 in the Beaux-Arts style, whose ornate facades and domed reading room made it a showpiece of the capital. Drawings like this one let viewers see that design intent in a single image.
