vertebrate around the world.
What Washington was like in
those old days, years before the
shot at Fort Sumter, when Honest
Abe" Lincoln was still splitting
rails, can be seen in an exhibition
Of old Autographs at the Public
Library at Eighth and K Streets
northwest.
The prints are Of the public
buildings in the National Capital
as they appeared in the middle of
the Nineteenth Century, when
women wore hoop skirts and there
were no street cars.
E. Sachse g. Co., Of Baltimore,
were the engravers, probably an
American branch of the famous
printing firm of L. SachSe & Co.
of Berlin, which issued Adolf Men.
zel'S engravingS on stone between
1851 and 1857.
Some Still Stand
The prints are quaint; interest
ing pictures of buildings both ia
miliar and unfamiliar to us. There
are some buildings which look now
as they looked then; some that
have been remodeled since those
days, and there are others that
depict buildings and monuments
long since gone from the scene
and even from Washington mem
DRY.
Even the pictures Of buildings
that have remained unchanged
during the years look different.
The Treasury Department, for in
stance, perhaps a bit less grimy
than it looks now, was still the
same, nevertheless, in the middle
Of the last century.
But the Sachse print shows
wide unpaved streets, where men
ride on horseback, and a covered
wagon and coach and four make
their way up and down the street.
There are other prints, like the
one Of the Smithsonian Building,
where ladies in hoop skirts stroll
leisurely by, undisturbed by any
thoughts Of the necessity Of get
ting back to typewriters and tele-
phone switchboards.
One of the most interesting
prints is the picture Of the Wash
ington Monument. The print does
not portray the Washington Mon.
