Description

An early description of the ornamentation of the state capitol building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Intended as a visitors' guide, it presents a prose description of George Grey Barnard's two massive sculptures on either side of the entrance, and identifies the images and symbolism in Edwin Austin Abbey's paintings, Violet Oakley's murals, and W. B. Van Ingen's stained glass. This 21 page booklet was completed after 1911 (it refers to Abbey's death, which came in that year) and before 1920 (when Oakley finished painting her murals for the senate chamber).
