• Exhibit caption (2014): Bucolic View of Washington. The view of the west front of the Capitol, from what is now the National Mall, is rather pastoral. The Tripoli Monument, honoring American sailors during the Barbary Wars of 1804, was installed in front of the Capitol in 1831. John Rubens Smith trained as an artist in his native England and moved to the new republic around 1807. He documented the East Coast of the United States, intending to make a portfolio of prints. The Library acquired an archive of his work as the eponymous 100th millionth acquisition between 1992 and 1996.
