The Statue of Liberty, near the Capitol, Washington, D.C.. |

Description |
English: This is now the central portion of the pediment over the East entrance to the Senate wing of the Capitol, called the "Progress of Civilization" (see here on aoc.gov and here, also on aoc.gov) which was made by Thomas Crawford. That portion represents "America". Apparently, the statues were done well before the portion of the Capitol was completed, and (per The abridgment ... containing the annual message of the President of the United States to the two Houses of Congress ... with reports of Departments and selections from accompanying papers, Volume 93, Issues 2-859 (1860)) most of the other parts were set up in the statuary hall portion of the Capitol, but that part was too big so it was set up on a pedestal in the "eastern park". I presume that was on the Capitol grounds. Getty images has another photo of it here: that looks like one of these photos in stereo card File:The Genius of America, from Robert N. Dennis collection of stereoscopic views.jpg. Corbis has an image of the assembled pediment before it got raised up. Apparently the pediment was installed in 1863, so that is the outer limit for these photos. Washington Through Two Centuries has a map depicting the 1860 state of the city, and does show a statue in the park, aligned with the Capitol dome and close to the street (east first street), [but it turns out] that was where Horatio Greenough's statue of Washington was from 1843 to 1908 (see here (on the Smithsonian site) for info on the statue, and here (on the LOC site), here (ditto), and here (ditto) for photos of it in place), which is now in the Smithsonian. The Washington statue was in a similar circular enclosure with an iron fence, but not the same one. At some point it was moved closer to the Capitol, see here (LOC again). So, not sure precisely where the Crawford statue was temporarily located. Two more photos of the Crawford statue outdoors here (LOC) and here (LOC), but still can't get a feel for where it is.- (lightly edited from remarks by User:Clindberg, originally made at User talk:Jmabel/Stereo cards of Washington, D.C..) |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
