Symbols in the Jefferson Building



The history of printing, one of the Jefferson Building's principal themes, is elaborately represented on the beautiful bronze doors of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division on the Jefferson Building's second floor. Printing in Europe is depicted on the door on the left, and printing in the New World on the right.
