White House at night, 6/11 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Brooke Stewart said:
    This was prepping for the Tafts' silver wedding anniversary party on June 19, 1911. An excerpt from White House archives states: "Two score electricians are now at work in the White House grounds, as thousands of electric lights will be placed among the trees and festooned across the lawns and terraces. The White House itself will be outlined completely by electric lights. No cornice, angle, or gable will be overlooked. On the west lawn of the White house an electric flag will wave. This will be a wonderful sight, the red, white, and blue colors flashing into the night."

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Where Fine Art Thrives, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Those were the days before worry, paranoia, and fences

    Was the coloring that was used in this picture the same or similar to the technique that was used on some of the colored versions of "The Great Train Robbery"?
  • ginkgoMZD said:
    probably not, this was probably hand tinted
