Minnesota State Capitol Building, Saint Paul – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Minnesota State Capitol:
The Minnesota State Capitol is located in Saint Paul. The building was completed in 1905 at a cost of $4.5 million dollars. The architect was Cass Gilbert, who designed many prominent buildings in the central US. Gilbert took his inspiration from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. The unsupported dome of the building is the second largest in the world, behind Saint Peter's. It is the third building to serve as Minnesota's capitol. The first burned down in 1881, and the second was deemed too small almost immediately after completion. One of the most notable features of the building are the gold gilded horses at the base of the dome in the front. This piece of art was designed and sculpted by Daniel Chester French and Edward Clark Potter. The four horses represent the power of nature: earth, fire, water and wind. At one time, the building had German quotations on the wall, but these were painted over during the tide of anti-German sentiment during World War II. These were later restored. The capitol building houses the Senate, House of Representatives, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Governor.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

The Basilica of Saint Mary's in Minneapolis, Minnesota has the distinction of being the very first basilica established in the United States. It is the co-cathedral Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, along with the Cathedral of Saint Paul.

Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London, England – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about Saint Paul's Cathedral:
Saint Paul's Cathedral is a large, Baroque style building in the city of London, England. The groundbreaking for the cathedral was in 1675. The cathedral was the fourth building to occupy the site and three previous cathedrals had been variously destroyed before construction began. The architect was Sir Christopher Wren, who is credited with building on 50 churches in London following the Great Fire of 1666. The building was the tallest in London until 1962. During the blitz, the cathedral was damaged, but was not destroyed, despite the fact the building was targeted by the German bombers. The cathedral, unlike other European churches, has few artifacts but several famous people are interred in the crypt, including the architect himself, The Duke of Wellington, Sir Winston Churchill, Florence Nightingale, the painters Sir Joshua Reynolds and JM Turner and Lord Horatio Nelson.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
