1929 Court of Neptune Fountain Library of Congress Washington D.C.

This vintage postcard features the Court of Neptune Fountain at the Library of Congress, located at the west entrance of the Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington, D.C. Designed by sculptor Hinton Perry, this stunning bronze fountain, completed in 1936, represents the Roman god Neptune surrounded by sea-themed figures. Conch-blowing tritons, sea nymphs, sea horses, serpents, frogs, and turtles all surround Neptune, bringing the mythological scene to life.

The fountain serves as a grand welcome to the Thomas Jefferson Building, one of the most beautiful and historically significant buildings in the Library of Congress complex, which houses some of the world's greatest collections of knowledge and culture.
