The Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson Building opened its doors to an admiring public in 1897. It was immediately recognized as both an artistic achievement and vibrant expression of the Nation's intellectual aspirations. The Thomas Jefferson Building is one of the most elaborately decorated library buildings in the world. More than forty American painters and sculptors embellished its vast American Renaissance interior with marble, mosaics, paintings and sculpture to richly symbolize the country's grand entrance onto the world intellectual stage.

Today the Thomas Jefferson Building houses a wealth of collections and resources unimagined by its creators. It is a national library for the people of America and an open resource to the world. Extraordinary treasures and collections in more than 460 languages--maps, manuscripts, music, prints and photographs, film and even three-dimensional objects--have poured into the Library over the years through donation, copyright registration, purchase and exchange.

This postcard book is filled with stunning 32 photographs of unique treasures, and provides an entertaining tour of the Library of Congress, Thomas Jefferson Building.
