Two
large-scale murals painted in 1936 by Barry Faulkner in the Rotunda
for the Charters of Freedom at the National Archives Building
in Washington D.C. depict fictional scenes of the presentation
of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The murals
were recently restored to their original beauty.
