Inglese: questa è ora la porzione centrale del frontone sopra l'ingresso est al Senato ala del Capitol, chiamato "il progresso della civiltà" (vedi qui su aoc.gov e anche qui su aoc.gov) che è stata fatta da Thomas Crawford. La porzione non rappresentano "America", sebbene questi giorni almeno gli specifici "Genius of America" titolo sembra essere il nome del frontone sopra la centrale di ingresso est del Campidoglio, fatto anni prima di quella (vedi qui).

. The Genius of America. Alternate Title: No.199. English: This is now the central portion of the pediment over the East entrance to the Senate wing of the Capitol, called the 'Progress of Civilization' (see here on aoc.gov and here, also on aoc.gov) which was made by Thomas Crawford. That portion does represent 'America', although these days at least the specific 'Genius of America' title seems to be the name of the pediment over the central east entrance of the Capitol, done years earlier than that (see here). The back of the card does not capitalize 'genius' though. Apparently, the statues were done well before the portion of the Capitol was completed, and (per The abridgment ... containing the annual message of the President of the United States to the two Houses of Congress ... with reports of Departments and selections from accompanying papers, Volume 93, Issues 2-859 (1860)) most of the other parts were set up in the statuary hall portion of the Capitol, but that part was too big so it was set up on a pedestal in the 'eastern park'. I presume that was on the Capitol grounds. Getty images has another photo of it here: that looks like one of these photos exactly.Corbis has an image of the assembled pediment before it got raised up. Apparently the pediment was installed in 1863, so that is the outer limit for these photos. The back of the stereo card has the long caption: This really beautiful work of art, designed by the lamented Crawford, represents the genius of America, behind which the rising sun typifies youth and prosperity. It is intended for the centre of the pediment of the north wing of the Capitol, Washington, while on either side will be arranged figured emblematic of the mechanic, the pioneer, the soldier, youth, education, commerce, the hunter and the Indian chief and his family, the whole designed by the same able hand, and executed in American marble, by Italian artists resident in Washington. Together these groups will form a triumph of a 308
