  • Issue No. 14 – 2021 (Published August 15, 2021)
    Michigan Register Issue No. 14 – 2021 (Published August 15, 2021) GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THE MICHIGAN REGISTER COVER DRAWING Michigan State Capitol: This image, with flags flying to indicate that both chambers of the legislature are in session, may have originated as an etching based on a drawing or a photograph. The artist is unknown. The drawing predates the placement of the statue of Austin T. Blair on the capitol grounds in 1898. (Michigan State Archives) PAGE GRAPHICS Capitol Dome: The architectural rendering of the Michigan State Capitol’s dome is the work of Elijah E. Myers, the building’s renowned architect. Myers inked the rendering on linen in late 1871 or early 1872. Myers’ fine draftsmanship, the hallmark of his work, is clearly evident. Because of their size, few architectural renderings of the 19th century have survived. Michigan is fortunate that many of Myers’ designs for the Capitol were found in the building’s attic in the 1950’s. As part of the state’s 1987 sesquicentennial celebration, they were conserved and deposited in the Michigan State Archives. (Michigan State Archives) East Elevation of the Michigan State Capitol: When Myers’ drawings were discovered in the 1950’s, this view of the Capitol – the one most familiar to Michigan citizens – was missing. During the building’s recent restoration (1989-1992), this drawing was commissioned to recreate the architect’s original rendering of the east (front) elevation. (Michigan Capitol Committee) Michigan Register Published pursuant to § 24.208 of The Michigan Compiled Laws Issue No. 14— 2021 (This issue, published August 15, 2021, contains documents filed from July 15, 2021 to August 1, 2021) Compiled and Published by the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules © 2021 by Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules, State of Michigan All rights reserved.
