Perspectives on the Art and Architectural History of the United States Capitol
Series Editor
Donald Kennon
U.S. Capitol Historical Society
Since 1994 the U.S. Capitol Historical Society has conducted a series of conferences each fall on the art and architectural history of the United States Capitol planned with the cooperation of the Curator of the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, Dr. Barbara Wolanin. The Press is publishing the volumes resulting from this series.
“[Paris on the Potomac] is another consistently engaging and insightful collection of essays published as part of the Perspectives on the Art and Architectural History of the United States Capitol series…. As a whole, the collection underlies the importance of the French-American amity and offers Washington, D.C.—as much a European city as an American one—as irrefutable evidence that space and place are occupied by politics and ideology as much as they are by people.”—The Journal of Southern History
