What it cost then

Letter describing the construction of the capitals for the columns for the courthouse


" I will make and cut your capitals. It is best to have them put together by a person that is used to it,as (if they are made as they should be) they are a very particular job....I will do them and find stuff for $1oo and they shall be properly executed according to the Ionic order"

TERRIFIC!!! I love the angle of view you chose, and this is a wonderful monochrome image!!! Interesting history lesson as well. Your photography skills have certainly grown during this challenge. Great job!!!

Amazing angle and point of view. This is the most pleasing shot of this type I have seen. Very impressive.
