An account of the Smithsonian Institution : its origin, history, objects and achievements
An 1895 account of the Smithsonian Institution by G. Brown Goode, printed in Washington for distribution at the Atlanta Exposition, and aimed at visitors and the public. Its pictures are plain halftone-style portraits of Smithsonian secretaries set on pale plates with printed captions, plus one sideways image of a Gothic-towered building among trees, offering a designer restrained, documentary formats for institutional history.
