Deer on the Mall

Description
-
This photograph was taken around 1890, when the Mall was landscaped according to a design by Andrew Jackson Downing. Rather than the wide open lawn edged with trees we see today, this section of the Mall was covered in small evergreens with a winding path. This deer may have been wild, enjoying a forested spot in the city, or part of the Smithsonian's Department of Living Animals.
