Excerpt from Art and Artists of the Capitol of the United States of America It may not be safe to estimate the culture of a people by their progress in art attainments or art possessions. The necessities of those early years, the-strict economy of those days, left but little for expenditure in art directions, and to have a roof for shelter was considered wiser than to possess paintings or sculpture.
