This print is catalogued as a plain image of George Washington, and its shelflist card records no date, so its origin has to be pieced together from the subject and the period. Washington commanded the Continental Army through the Revolutionary War and then served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797, setting precedents that still shape the office. Likenesses of him were widely reproduced during and after his lifetime, so this print likely belongs to that large body of images made to meet public interest in his face and career. The card's notes flag the cataloguing data as unverified, so the attribution and date are worth checking against other sources.
