The record identifies this single print simply as "George Washington," and its catalog card carries the name S.H. Gimber, though that attribution and the absence of a date remain unverified. Washington, who commanded the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and then served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797, became one of the most frequently reproduced figures in American art. Prints of him circulated widely through engravings, lithographs and later photographic copies, often serving as patriotic images in homes, schools and public buildings. Because the date and maker are not recorded, the print is best understood as one example of that long tradition of Washington portraiture.
