Washington's entry into New York is one of several moments when the city greeted him as a national hero, and the drawing's title points to the procession rather than a battle or a portrait. Washington arrived in New York in November 1783, soon after the British evacuated the city, and again in April 1789, when he came to take the oath of office as the first president under the new Constitution. Line drawings like this one were widely reproduced in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, so they helped shape how Americans pictured the republic's founding. Look closely at the crowds and the ceremonial details, which show how the public staged its welcome for the general and later the president.
