American Pantheon: Sculptural and Artistic Decoration of the United States Capitol

This is an great book on an amazing building. This building is probably the most famous symbol of democracy and when you see it in person you can't help but feel chills, the way it was sited by Enfant on a slight hilltop with commanding views of the city. This is truly a building that is spectacular both inside and out. This book exhaustively covers the architectural artistry of this famous building and does so in a scholarly manner. The images are nicely produced as well. If you have any interest in American History or just spectacular architecture and artistry then I believe you will be pleased with this book. Well done tribute to an American Icon.
