A lithograph of a sculpted likeness of George Washington, the first president, makes up this single print. The record gives no date or maker, so the specific statue cannot be identified from the card alone. Still, sculptural portraits of Washington multiplied in the 19th century, when memorial monuments rose in cities and towns across the country, and lithography was the cheap, fast method that carried such images into homes and schools. Prints like this one show how a marble or bronze tribute could travel far beyond the site where it stood.
