Connecticut State Capitol

By Jane Moorman

Connecticut State Capitol is a masterclass in precision As part of photographer Jane Moorman's project to document every state capitol, this book on the High Victorian Gothic landmark in Hartford is deeply informative and thorough.

Moorman documents the sculptural programs, from the Twelve Allegorical Statues to key figures like Ella Grasso and William A Buckingham. The text functions as a true architectural and historical inventory, clarifying design compromises and the intricate Aesthetic Movement interior work by William McPherson.

Moorman's personal approach as an "Adventurer who loves to drive the back roads" grounds the dense historical facts, elevating the book from a catalog into a curated exploration.
