Man walking down a sidewalk near the White House visitors' entrance, Washington (D.C.), 1947

Description:
Photograph of a man strolling along a sidewalk in the vicinity of the White House visitors' entrance in Washington, D.C. A street corner sits in the foreground at left. Its sidewalks stretch horizontally across the foreground to the right and straight back through center. Further back at the corner, a tall, stone post stands, right-of-center. Wrought-iron fencing extends from it to the right and out-of-frame. The same fencing stretches back behind the post, lining the sidewalk. Enclosed behind the fence are shrubbery and trees. In the mid-ground, a man walks towards camera down the sidewalk. He looks towards the fence at right. Equally-spaced trees line the sidewalk's curb at left. To the left of the trees, a street stretches into the distance. A building lines the far side of the street at left and the Washington Monument is barely visible rising in the far distance at center.

Mertie West looking across at Supreme Court Building, Washington (D.C.), 1947

Description:
Photograph of Mertie West looking towards the United States Supreme Court Building from the south. Mertie West stands in the foreground at center alongside East Capitol Street NE. She stands with her back to the camera. East Capitol Street NE stretches ahead of her on a slight upward angle from left to right. On the far side of the street, hedges and trees line the Supreme Court Building's lawn. Beyond the hedges, the west facade of the Supreme Court Building rises, off-center to the left. The neoclassical building is viewed at an angle from the front and the side, facing left. A columned portico juts forward from the center of the building. It is capped by a sculpted pediment. The building's wings stretch out to either side of the west porch. The right wing is obscured by trees. Two sculpted, seated figures extend out from the porch and flank its steps.
