Washington : its public and private edifices, interiors, monuments, and works of art ; a collection of superior engravings on wood
A pictorial survey of Washington, D.C. published in 1881 as a collection of wood engravings showing the city's public and private buildings, interiors, monuments and artworks. The two pictures are decorative red initial letters, a large ornate O and a stylised W, printed in the book's opening pages. A designer could take from them the interlaced foliage, scrollwork and framed capitals of Victorian letterpress ornament for display lettering or border work.
