Capital Capitol Portico Trip Washington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image showcases the Eastern Portico of the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C., circa 1900. The Capitol, a symbol of American democracy and political power, stands proudly against a clear blue sky, adorned with its intricate architectural details. The Eastern Portico, a grand entrance to the building, is decorated with Corinthian columns and a balustrade, creating an aura of grandeur and elegance. The lantern, a common tool for projecting slides during presentations during this era, adds an element of nostalgia to the image. The Capitol, completed in 1800, has undergone numerous renovations and expansions throughout its history, but the Eastern Portico remains a constant feature. This part of the Capitol complex was designed by architect William Thornton and is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. The Capitol, with its iconic dome and impressive columns, has been a source of inspiration and awe for generations of Americans and visitors alike. This image is part of the Boswell collection, a series of lantern slides taken during an American trip around the turn of the 20th century. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of America during this time period. The Eastern Portico of the Capitol, as captured in this image, serves as a reminder of the rich history and architectural beauty of the United States.
