Here the wedding of George Washington and Martha Custis appears as a domestic scene rather than a battle or a political milestone. Washington married the widow Martha Dandridge Custis in January 1759 at her home in New Kent County, Virginia, a union that brought him substantial property and two stepchildren he helped raise. This lithograph by Régnier follows a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns and was published by Lemercier in Paris around 1854, when Washington's life story was widely reproduced in America and Europe as a lesson in character. Note how the print turns a private marriage into a public example of virtue.
