Washington is the subject here, in a print dated to about 1896, with the record noting only "J Hoover." The gallery files it under Thanksgiving, a link that goes back to 1789, when Washington, as the first president, proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving. Portraits of him were widely reproduced in the late nineteenth century, when his likeness was often used to mark patriotic and civic occasions. It is worth noticing how the image of the first president came to represent a holiday he had helped establish.
