A picture of the New York State Capitol building (1867-99) as seen from the west. The Capitol is the north anchor building for the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. The Capitol builing was designed in part by Henry Hobson Richardson. As is depicted here, people who work in the vicinity of the Capitol tend to spend their leisure time on the grounds surrounding the building on days of favorable weather. There are crop marks on all four sides and in the top margin is noted "30%."
