This ink drawing shows the corridors on the first floor of the Library of Congress, rendered as a view down the passageways rather than a flat plan. It belongs to the library's collection of architectural and engineering drawings, which were used to plan, build, and maintain its buildings. The Thomas Jefferson Building, which opened in 1897, was designed in the Beaux-Arts style, with long halls, marble, and ornament meant to express the nation's ambitions for learning. Drawings like this one let architects and builders study how light, space, and detail would work together before construction and during later repairs.
