Few of the Washington prints on this board show him in a fraternal setting, so this one stands apart. Washington joined a Masonic lodge in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1752 and later presided over the Alexandria lodge, a connection that gave Freemasons a patriotic founding figure to celebrate. This color lithograph was printed by Strobridge & Gerlach, a Cincinnati firm known for its commercial and pictorial work, and its imprint names Pike's Opera House, a well-known venue in that city. Its date of about 1866 falls in the years after the Civil War, when Washington imagery was widely reproduced.
