Shot on 8mm film in 1960, this vintage home movie captures a handheld view of Lafayette Square in Washington DC. The footage features a prominent statue of the Marquis de Lafayette atop a stone pedestal, with bare winter trees framing the scene. The camera pans across the monument and nearby buildings, including a glimpse of the White House in the distance. The film exhibits classic Super 8 characteristics: soft focus, grain, and a cool blue-purple color cast, evoking a nostalgic mid-century American memory.
