Green and printed by Matthews-Northrup Works of Buffalo for the B.S. Reynolds Company, this sweeping aerial view presents Washington, D.C. looking west from high above the city. The Capitol dominates the foreground while the National Mall and Washington Monument stretch toward the distant suburbs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe McMillan Commission plan of 1901 had transformed Pierre Charles L'Enfant's original 1791 design into the grand monumental core visible in this image. Railroad tracks and temporary structures were cleared from the Mall, creating the unbroken green axis that defines the capital to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBird's-eye view maps enjoyed enormous popularity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, offering citizens a dramatic perspective on cities they might never visit. Publishers sold these panoramas as both decorative prints and practical references, naming individual landmarks throughout the composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction provides insight into a young century's architectural ambition captured just as the country prepared to enter the First World War. Considered among the finest views of Washington from the era, it brings civic grandeur to any office, study, or living room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":48447164317885,"sku":"ENMAP0759_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/18bBTl6r_-6vdEkNBZC-n8dCdrBejSsc8_w1000_6c7f5ddc-be4f-426c-9fd7-ad953540e26e.jpg?v=1789455460","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1916-washington-dc-aerial-city-view-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
