Groups of visitors crowd the steps of the U.S. Capitol in this Fourth of July view, a detail that ties the picture to the building's role as the stage for national holidays in Washington. The photograph comes from the Harris & Ewing studio, a Washington, D.C. firm that operated from 1905 and became known for documenting the city's public life, government officials and crowds. Its catalog date range falls between 1905 and 1945, a span when Independence Day gatherings in the capital drew large family crowds to the Mall and the Capitol grounds. Notice how the steps, dressed in holiday finery and filled with people in summer clothing, record a shared civic ritual from the early twentieth century.
