A substantial official survey of the United States Capitol's art collection, prepared by the Architect of the Capitol under the direction of the Joint Committee on the Library. This comprehensive volume documents 677 works of art as of December 1974, including presidential portraits, sculpture, murals, and architectural ornamentation. Entries provide detailed descriptions, measurements, and locations throughout the Capitol complex. Illustrated throughout with both color and black-and-white plates, the work remains an important reference for American political art and federal collections. This copy carries notable and historically charged provenance: laid in is a typed letter on United States Senate stationery dated August 13, 1976, signed 'Pete' (Harrison A. Williams Jr., U.S. Senator from New Jersey, 1959-1982), presenting the volume as a gift. The front endpaper is additionally inscribed, 'Best wishes, Pete Williams.' Williams was later convicted in the ABSCAM corruption investigation (1981) and resigned from the Senate in 1982, adding a layer of political history and collector interest to this association copy. First Edition, 1976, as indicated by the Government Printing Office imprint and Library of Congress Card Catalog Number 72-600081. Issued without dust jacket, as typical for this government publication. A solid, well-preserved example of a large-format institutional work. Condition: Near Fine. Two-tone cloth binding remains clean and structurally sound with light shelf wear and mild rubbing at extremities; spine lettering clear. Interior is bright and unmarked aside from the inscription; plates clean and well-preserved. The accompanying Senate letter is in Near Fine condition, crisp with original folds and no significant wear. This work was produced by the Office of the Architect of the Capitol under the direction of the Joint Committee on the Library, reflecting institutional authorship. The Architect of the Capitol is responsible for the stewardship and documentation of the Capitol's art and architecture. Publications like this serve as authoritative records of the nation's legislative art holdings and are valued as both reference works and historical documents.
