Report on the progress and condition of the United States National Museum
An annual report of the United States National Museum, published in Washington in 1907 by the Government Printing Office for the Smithsonian Institution and Congress. The single picture is a sepia photograph of the museum's long stone building with a dome, shown rotated sideways, with bare winter trees in the foreground. A designer could take its tonal sepia palette, the rhythm of the colonnaded facade, and the stark bare branches against pale sky.
