Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NASBRD_181102_02.JPG: The Antarctic Treaty, 1959 The Antarctic Treaty signed in Washington DC on 1 December 1959 reserves the area south of 50 degree south latitude exclusively for peaceful purposes, guarantees freedom of scientific research and promotes environmental stewardship there. Key negotiations on the treaty took place in the board room here at the National Academy of Sciences building.
2. NASBRD_181102_12.JPG: President Lincoln Signs the Charter of the National Academy of Sciences The group portrait by Albert Herter, in the Academy's Board Room, depicts President Abraham Lincoln signing the Charter of the National Academy of Sciences, on March 3rd, 1863. Herter based his painting, made in 1924 for the dedication of the Academy building, on that historic event. In this apocryphal scene, Senator Henry Wilson, who introduced the bill establishing the Academy, and a group of founders look on. Left to right: Benjamin Peirce, Alexander Dallas Bache (first president of the Academy), Joseph Henry, Louis Agassiz, President Lincoln, Senator Wilson, Admiral Charles Henry Davis, and Benjamin Agthorp Gould.

Description of Subject Matter: In the southeast corner of the building, the Board Room features a decorative light fixture in the shape of a globe based on a 1515 map by Leonardo da Vinci. The newly restored portrait above the fireplace imagines a scene with President Lincoln signing the Academy’s charter in the presence of its founders.
