	Abraham Lincoln	From the Harry MacNeill Bland Collection	North-West Stairway	358	This photograph, bearing a facsimile of his signature, shows Lincoln, "attorney and counselor-at-law in Springfield, Illinois". His resolute attitude, distinct in the well-knit lines of the folded arms, and the strong character, delineated in the sympathetic expression, prophesy the Lincoln-to-be during the Civil War and his presidency.

	Acropolis in Athens	-	room 125	153	Class of June, 1913 This is a hill rising about five hundred feet above sea level and the Attic plain. It is famed in history and art for its unique temples, among which are the Parthenon, the temple of Athene Parthenia (Minerva the Maid), and the Erechtheum.
	Alice Freeman Memorial	French, Daniel C American	room 227	37	Original at Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts Daniel C. French, "the sculptor of memorials", worked in the formative period of American sculpture. The contagion of personality is admirably expressed in the dignified, graceful lines of this memorial. Alice Freeman Palmer, a president of Wellesley College, is represented as pointing the higher way of life to a young student.
	Amiens Cathedral, France	-	Hall from room 047	150	Class of June, 1912 This cathedral was built in conformity to the mother-type, as found at Chartres. Here are the three arched entrances; the short tower; the rose-windows; the many little spires. A multitude of statues depicts Biblical personages and situations, causing this cathedral to be called a Bible, "the Bible of Amiens", in sculptured stone. Only in detail and ornament do Chartres and Amiens differ. As Amiens is unfinished, it seems squat, in contrast to Chartres.
	Arch of Titus, Rome	-	room 117	152	Strength, simplicity, and excellence of proportion make this monument one of the outstanding arches in the imperial city. Its decoration, commemorating the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, confers peculiar interest upon the arch. The reliefs have importance for the history of art on account of their showing the differences between Greek and Roman sculpture.

	Capital at Washington D.C.	-	room 127	155	Class of 1916, Night School Its dome is modeled after that of St. Peter's at Rome, designed by Michelangelo.
	Captured, Not Conquered	Dallin, Cyrus (1861-?) American	South east staircase	255	The strong from, resolute posture, and determined look, -all give firmness and unity to this conception of the American soldier.
	Castle of Chillon	-	room 127	156	Lord Byron's spirited poem, The Prisoner of Chillon, made famous this castle and fortress on Lake Geneva, Switzerland. It was built by the rulers of Savoy in the thirteenth century.
	Cathedral of Milan, Italy	-	Stairway to room 231	165	Class of June , 1912 This magnificent, superb church is one of the world's wonders. Constructed of white marble, adorned with seven thousand statues, crowned with fifty-two pillars enriched with capitals of varying design, the whole is unique as if, architecturally, it "had no other kin". Napoleon characterized it as "lacework in stone". The style, except that of the facade, which was begun in the Greek style, is Gothic.
	The Cathedral of Notre Dame	-	room 027	166	Class of June, 1912 Gothic (1163-1264) A majestic temple, Notre Dame in contrast with the rich detail of Amiens Cathedral presents almost classic balance of line and large spaces, unadorned, in walls and in buttresses. Victor Hugo made it famous in literature.
	Cathedral of Seville, Spain	-	Stairway to room 231	174	Class of June, 1912 This is the largest of the Gothic cathedrals. In form it is a parallelogram, like the mosque it replaced. It is an imposing and rich structure.
	Chatres Cathedral	-	room 111	157	Class of June, 1912 To understand the cathedral of Charters in France, the supreme achievement of Gothic architecture in the middle ages and distinctively French, study the details in this picture: the central facade with the portals; the rose windows; the arcade; the two, lofty towers, built in different periods and differing in height. Try to feel its strength and harmony, its dignity and majesty; the grandeur of its grouping; and the quality of its stained glass windows,- "Beautiful, impressive, serious, unique". It is invaluable to architects, who increasingly familiarize themselves with its transcendent values. It inspired Lowell's poem, "The Cathedral." "The Cathedral of Chartres", says Henry Adams, "is a revelation of the eternal glory of medieval art".
	Church of the Abbey of St. Michel, France (Interior)	-	Hall from room 031 to 033	177	Class of June, 1912 St. Michel Isle, which at high tide is little else than a rocky projection, is crowned with this ancient abbey and fortified for protection. The lower story of the church is Norman. The upper story (illustrated here) is late Gothic and has been somewhat restored.
	Coliseum	-	1st floor, right of the auditorium entrance Roman about A.D. 80	159	Class of January, 1909 The Roman Coliseum is the most immense and most important of the Roman Empire's many amphitheaters. It made so profound an impression upon the people's imagination that it eventually occasioned the saying: "While stands in the Coliseum, Rome shall stand: while Rome, the world". Even in ruin, its vastness and the sweep of its lines inspire awe. The first story is Doric; the second, Ionic; the third, Corinthian; the fourth, composite. Roman architects, diverging from Greek style and methods, used columns for ornament only and through this device modified advantageously the immense mass of their walls. The Coliseum was shaped as an oval because this shape provided the best view of the arena, which was designed for gladiatorial warfare and other spectacles that employed great numbers of participants.
	Cologne Cathedral	-	room 023	158	The Cathedral of Cologne is Germany's rendering of Gothic architecture. Medieval Germans, like modern Germans, were thorough craftsmen. They decorated their cathedral in beautiful traceries of flowers, scrollwork, statues, and angels. This cathedral is a stronghold of art as well as of Christianity. Tracery covering the exteriors shows an infinite variety of flowers, scrollwork, grotesque animal forms, statues, and hovering angels. Every grace of ornament that can be fashioned in stone is here. Spires rising from five hundred or even thirteen hundred feet seem covered with lace work in stone. Cologne is the loftiest, the most impressive, and the most solemn of cathedrals.
	Corinthian Temple of Jupiter Olympus another view	-	room 013	161	Class of January, 1913
	The Court of Lions, The Alhambra, Granada	-	room 013	148	The Alhambra is an example of that Saracen art which reached its finest form in Spain. The twelve lions supporting the marble fountain illustrates the excellent lines and proportions of Moorish sculpture. The symmetry of the arches and the rich ornamentation make this royal castle one of the most beautiful of architectural achievements.
	Dryburgh Abbey	-	Hall from room 031 to 033	263	Class of January, 1919 This is a famous, monastic ruin near Melrose, Scotland. Sir Walter Scott is buried in this abbey.

	Hall of Justice, The Alhambra, Granada	-	Hall from room 031 to 033	149	Class of January, 1913 Saracen art depended for decoration on geometric designs in rich colors. The human figure was not, as in Hellenic art, included among artistic forms. The Alhambra was the citadel of Granada when that city was preeminent in the Moorish empire.
	Interior View of Notre Dame	-	Hall from room 233 to 235	167	Class of June, 1912 This displays the refinement of details characteristic of Gothic interiors.

	The Parthenon	-	1st floor, left of auditorium entrance	168	Class of January, 1909 This temple upon the Acropolis is the temple of Athene Parthenia (Minerva the Maid), goddess of wisdom. The outer colonnade's marble pillars are the sole remnants of the greatest example of Doric architecture. The Greek emphasized proportion rather than size and used ornament to express structure. The flutings of the columns constitute vertical lines. The capital is adapted in a simple way to hold the lintel in place.

picture not available	Pisa Cathedral, Italy	-	Hall from room 307	169	Found in northwestern Italy, Pisa's duomo or cathedral is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture. Because its comparatively small foundation has settled, its leaning tower is sixteen and one-half feet off perpendicular. Except for a peak, rising form the center, the tower is a circular building. Galileo's scientific career began in Pisa's cathedral.
