Shot on 8mm film in 1943, this vintage clip captures a wide view of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington DC, its iconic white dome standing against a pale blue sky. The scene unfolds from a grassy lawn, with trees lining the perimeter and a few indistinct figures visible in the distance. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 characteristics: soft focus, film grain, and a slightly faded color palette with prominent purplish tones. A handwritten title card reading 'National Art Gallery' appears briefly, suggesting a personal home movie. This archival footage offers a nostalgic glimpse of a historic landmark during the mid-20th century.
