Washington, D.C. Then and Now presents a fascinating portrait of
the evolution and history of the city since the dawn of photography
in the mid-nineteenth century. It pairs vintage black-and-white
photographs-including those of pioneers of American and commercial
photography such as John Plumbe and Mathew Brady-with splendid
color photographs taken from the same vantage points today. The
book includes all the tourist must-see places of the capital city.
Sites include, the Capitol, White House, Library of Congress,
Supreme Court, Treasury Building, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson
Memorial, Smithsonian Museum, Union Station, Ford's Theatre,
Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, Folger Shakespeare Library, Old Post
Office and the offices that Mark Twain described as "the ugliest
building in America." It also features some breathtaking vintage
panoramas taken from the Washington Monument showing the nascent
capital in glorious detail.
