Washington's farewell to his officers at Francis's Tavern on Broad Street in New York, on December 4, 1783, is the scene this lithograph sets out to capture. After the British evacuated the city, Washington gathered his senior officers in the tavern's long room, where he raised a glass and bade them farewell, a moment that had no formal script and was remembered for its emotion. Nathaniel Currier issued this hand-colored print around 1848, when Currier's firm was turning out inexpensive pictures of national heroes for a broad middle-class audience. Its sentimental staging reflects how Americans of that era preferred to remember the Revolution.
