The Capitol is much more than the building in which the Legislature holds its session, the courts sit judgement, and the executive exercises his authority. It is a concrete manifestation of the importance and power of the state and an expression of its artistic development. The Capitol has housed the Pennsylvania State Government for nearly a century. At the same time, it has been recognised as one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. From the magnificent gilded statue of Commonwealth atop the dome to the murals in the Rotunda, and the smallest detail of the Pennsylvania seal on the door hardware, the Capitol is a monumental blend of art and architecture.

In 1908, Henry Mercer wrote and published at his own expense this guidebook to the various tiles and mosaics in the Pennsylvania Capitol so that visitors could read and appreciate the work as they strolled through the corridors and the great rotunda. Each mosaic had a significant story to tell and Mercer thought the story of the tiles and his own artistic intentions had to be communicated. Unavailable for many years, this newly reprinted guidebook is a useful tool in understanding the history of the Keystone State, as well as a record of this very important architectural masterpiece.
