Thomas Jefferson's neoclassical masterpiece — modeled on the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, France — gleams white against a soft painted sky in this vivid early color lithograph of the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond. The central portico with its soaring Ionic columns anchors two symmetrical flanking wings added in 1906, each flying state flags in a patriotic flourish, while manicured lawns and autumn-tinged trees fill the foreground. This card was published by Louis Kaufmann & Sons of Baltimore, one of the most prolific American postcard publishers of the White Border era, and printed using the "C.T. American Art Colored" process — a high-quality chromolithographic method used widely between roughly 1915 and 1930. The back text notes that Aaron Burr was tried for treason here in 1807, and that the Confederate Congress convened within these walls — making this building one of the most historically layered in America.
