On November 22, 1800, President John Adams welcomed to Washington, D. C., the Houses of Congress assembled for the first time in the new United States Capitol. One hundred and fifty years later the Nation observed the Capitol City's anniversary. The National Capital Sesquicentennial Commission, which planned for celebration, Commissioned The Corcoran Gallery of Art, a privately endowed museum in Washington, to borrow and exhibit a series of historical paintings, drawings, and prints illustrations the country's growth. This collection, entitled "American Processional," was designed to encompass the years between 1492 and 1900, and to include political, economic, cultural, and social developments. Every picture had to show an important and unique phase of the American Story. In truth, the American story is too varied, too profound, too tragic, too high-spirited ever to be adequately reported in an art survey. American Processional could not tell everything, but it added new light to our national history.
