Original sepia snapshot photograph of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, showing the great dome and the columned east front with a row of early automobiles parked along the plaza in front. Measures about 2.8 x 4.3 inches. Condition: toned and somewhat faded, with light surface wear and a few faint marks; image still clear.

The parked cars are closed sedans and touring cars with spoked and disc wheels, a fun period detail that dates the scene to the early automobile age. The statuary flanking the central steps is visible.

An amateur traveler's view rather than a commercial print, likely from a family album. A good piece for Washington, DC, Capitol, architecture or early automobile collectors.
