Rather than a photograph of a finished room, this is a rendering, a drawing that shows how a planned building was meant to look before it was built, here for a venue called the Dolphin America in Washington, D.C. Drawings like this helped owners and backers picture the finished place, and the city's saloons and hotel bars of the period often drew a mix of politicians, clerks and visitors. The street-level facade and any signage are worth studying, since they show how a drinking establishment presented itself to passersby. The design shown here is the intended one, which may have changed in the final building.
