I just want to browse. What do you recommend? How are sculptures organized? Why does the site map have more than just Goode's 16 areas? Which D.C. sculptures have you included? How can I learn more about a particular sculpture? How do I get to & around Washington, D.C.? Why is "V" used instead of "U" and "I" instead of "J" on so many inscriptions? |
From the home page, find the "Browse" section. Start by browsing the different groups of sculptures. You'll start out with the National Cathedral & by clicking "Next Group" or "Previous Group" at the top you'll discover the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, etc. & find about about equestrians statues, architectural lingo, & much more. If you decide to investigate the entire site by following all the links, you're in for hours of entertainment. Aside from the sculpture groups discussed above (page names usually start with "Groups"), you can also browse individual sculptures (page names start with "index_indiv"). Simply click "Next Sculpture" or "Previous Sculpture" & you'll be taken thru the entire "ring" of sculpture in that particular general location (e.g. Capitol Hill or Massachusetts Ave. in D.C. or Philadelphia, Boston, etc. outside of town). You can also jump to the next "ring" by clicking "Go to XXX ring" (where XXX is the name of the ring). These links are shown at the very top of the individual sculpture page & also, for your convenience, they're repeated under each photograph. If you just want to browse some pretty pictures, choose the "Thumbnails" browsing option from the home page. Keep in mind that this is an extremely small sample of all the sculpture at dcMemorials.com. |
