Default T3s or Other Cards with Landmarks Visible

I recently noticed that two of my T3 cabinets appear to have iconic national landmarks in the background artwork. It has me wondering if others have similar examples.

Walter Johnson's T3 includes what resembles a hazy U.S. Capitol building in its background. The resemblance is strong and when coupled with WaJo's status as Washington's top pitcher, it would seem likely that the artist intended to include the Capitol in his (or her) rendition of Johnson on the mound.

The Capitol image on the Johnson card seems even more certain when we also examine the T3 of Barney's battery mate, Gabby Street. The Old Sarge's T3 shows a larger and more distinct profile of the U.S. Capitol and also includes an image of what could be the Washington Monument. It seems certain that by the time the artwork was created for his 1911 T3, Street's reputation included his 1908 feat of catching a ball pitched off the top of the Washington Monument.

This leads me to speculate that we have two cards reflecting the Capitol, one of which may also include the Washington Monument. Does anybody think I am imagining it? Anybody got similar examples of cards that include recognizable landmarks?
