Report on the progress and condition of the United States National Museum
This is an annual government report of the United States National Museum, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1907 for Congress and the Smithsonian Institution. The pictures show the Smithsonian seal, a globe between torches with lettering around its rim, and a monumental domed stone museum building with columns and a tree-shaded street, offering designers a formal, classical public-institution vocabulary of seals, columns and dignified architecture.
