Even though it’s not quite spring, the start of daylight savings time has our minds in cherry blossom season. This photograph was captured by Martin A. Gruber, a native of Berks County Pennsylvania, who worked for the War Department in Washington, D.C. from 1891 to around 1929. His photographs in our collections document views of the National Zoological Park, buildings, monuments, trees, and more in the Washington, D.C. area.
