Thrilling story of the wonderful Capitol Building and its marvelous decorations
A popular guidebook to the United States Capitol written and self-published by journalist Smith D. Fry in Washington in 1912 for tourists and general readers. Halftone photographs and wood-engraved views show crowded House and Senate chambers, inaugural throngs on the east plaza, coffered domes and statuary niches, all printed coarsely in high-contrast grey, useful for architectural interiors and dense period crowds.
