This view shows a section of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., whose main building on Capitol Hill, the Jefferson Building, opened in 1897. The catalog entry labels the subject "German Renaissance," a style drawing on sixteenth-century German architecture and ornament, so the label probably points to decorative detailing or design influences rather than the building's overall character. The building combined Beaux-Arts planning with richly ornamented interiors, and a sectional view like this one helps show how such a design was conceived. The catalog description is brief and partly garbled, so the specific details are worth checking against the original record.
