This print reproduces a painting of George Washington made in 1836 by the French artist Léon Cogniet, which an engraver named Laugier translated into an engraving in 1839. The subject is Washington's military service during the Revolutionary War, a theme that held strong appeal in France, where many people admired the American cause and remembered the French officers who had fought alongside the colonists. Engravings like this one circulated widely in the 1830s, letting audiences far from the original canvas see the image and its heroic version of the general.
