Report on the progress and condition of the United States National Museum
An annual report of the United States National Museum, issued in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1907 under the Smithsonian Institution, documenting the museum's progress and condition for its governing public. The first picture is the Smithsonian seal, a globe between two torches with the motto 'For the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men', useful for institutional emblem studies. The second is a sepia photograph of the museum's columned facade and dome seen across bare trees, rotated sideways on the page, suggesting a neoclassical civic building layout for reference.
