The image is a vintage postcard featuring the Kansas State Capitol building in Topeka, Kansas. The building serves as the seat of government for the state of Kansas.
The Neoclassical-style building was completed in 1903 after 37 years of construction.
It is located in Topeka, which has been the capital city of Kansas since it became a state in 1861.
The dome is crowned by the bronze statue Ad Astra, which depicts a Kansa warrior aiming his arrow at the North Star.
The building is made entirely of Kansas limestone and features murals by painter John Steuart Curry.
