Titled simply *General Washington*, this print shows George Washington under the military rank he held before becoming president, when he led the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783. Engravers and printmakers reproduced his likeness widely in that role, turning it into a symbol of the fight for independence. The record gives no date, and the name on the shelflist card, Topham, S. Hart 342, is unverified, so the maker and origin of this impression remain uncertain.
