A color poster advertising a patriotic song called "George Washington," offered as a Fourth of July gift, carries the name of Horatio G. King, a Washington, D.C. writer and former federal official. Its publisher is listed as the Family Story Paper of New York, a weekly that sold fiction to family readers. The catalog date is a bracketed estimate in the late 1870s or early 1880s, when the centennial of independence made Washington's image especially common in popular print. The record notes that its dating comes from an old caption card and has not been verified, so the exact year remains open.
