It is also on the cover of a printing of "Das Kapital".

Mistakes were made.

Kathryn51 said...: Well, based upon my visit in July, the Capital building, the Square and the street layout to the lake, make Madison the most beautiful state Capitals I have seen. Extra bonus for us was visit to Saturday market.

Ugliest State Capital? California.

@campy "Do they also photoshop in some African-Americans?". Good comment - ack of color was also noticeable. Lots of White Guilt on display at some of the political booths/stands.; 9/25/16, 11:12 AM
Original Mike said...: The Wisconsin Capitol is much nicer. The US Capitol dome is cast iron, for Pete's sake. It is not fabulous.; 9/25/16, 11:21 AM
