Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the English-born architect who settled in America in 1796 and is often called the country's first professional architect, made the original drawing this image reproduces. The record gives only the title "Jefferson," so it is unclear whether the subject is the president, a place, or a building that carries his name. Latrobe worked for Thomas Jefferson's administration as Surveyor of Public Buildings, designing and supervising work on the Capitol and the President's House in Washington, so his drawings from those years are often tied to the early building of the federal city.
