Helena has been Montana's capital since the territorial period, and this lithograph shows the state capitol that anchors the city. Montana became a state in 1889, and the capital's location was disputed among rival mining towns for years before Helena's claim was settled. The building's neoclassical design reflects the civic ambitions of a young state that wanted its seat of government to look permanent and dignified. Lithographs like this one were widely printed to promote western towns and to show readers back east what the frontier capital looked like.
