This wood engraving of the East Front of the Capitol building was part of an unknown German publication. but the source was likely William Goodacre's Principal Front of the Capitol Washington (1831). Many European publications relied on a few well-circulated images of the two sides of the buildling. The engraving depicts the original façade of the Capitol building, completed in 1828 by Charles Bulfinch.
