The image is a sepia-toned photograph of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., during a construction phase. The handwritten caption at the top left reads, "View of U.S. Capitol from top of north wing, showing progress made in New Dome & Aug. 2, 1857."

The dome of the Capitol is the most prominent feature, and it appears to be in the midst of being built. Scaffolding and cranes are visible around the dome, suggesting active construction. There is a group of people standing on a platform near the dome.

Below the dome, the building's classical architectural elements, such as columns and arches, are visible. In the background, a cityscape is partially visible. The image is a historical documentation of a significant architectural project.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting the United States Capitol building under construction. The photograph appears to be taken from a slightly elevated perspective, offering a close-up view of the dome and the surrounding structures.

Key Elements:

  • The Dome: The most prominent feature is the Capitol dome. The photograph shows the dome in the process of being constructed, with scaffolding and construction equipment visible around it.
  • Construction Activity: Several men are seen on the dome, which indicates ongoing construction efforts.
  • Structures around the Dome: The photograph includes parts of the Capitol's facade and other architectural details, such as columns and balustrades.
  • Cranes: The crane or lift-like structures are positioned near the top of the dome, seemingly to move materials.
  • Text: There is handwritten text at the top that says "View of U.S. Capitor from top of north wing, showing progress made in New Dome & Aug. 2, 1867."
  • Color: The photograph is monochromatic.

Style and Context:

  • The photograph is a historical document, likely dating back to the 19th century based on the sepia tone and the subject matter.
  • The image provides a unique glimpse into the construction of the Capitol building.
  • The photo is slightly damaged around the edges, which contributes to its antique appearance.
