The
Washington Post published an
article about work completed at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County's (UMBC)
Imaging Research Center which shows a fantastic rendering of the landscape as the city would have appeared circa 1814. Central to the work is a depiction of the unfinished Capitol building as it stand in juxtaposition to other geographic features at that time. The work by UMBC is based on topographic maps and generalized paintings from the era to create a psuedo-realistic 3D model.
Watch the video created by UMBC; it's six minutes long but worth it.
