George Washington appears here as a lithograph, a print process that let artists reproduce a drawn image in quantity, and the sheet's record carries no date, so its exact age is uncertain. The subject alone places it in a long tradition of Washington imagery: his likeness was reproduced so widely in the nineteenth century that portraits of him were hung in schools, parlors and public buildings across the country. Filed under the Washington memorial category, the piece reflects how the first president was used as a national symbol of unity and leadership. Viewers may want to compare its features and composition with dated portraits from the same period to estimate when it was made.
