George Washington is the named subject here, and the record places the image under the Thanksgiving heading, a link worth noting since Washington proclaimed the first national day of thanksgiving in 1789, asking Americans to give thanks for the new Constitution and the nation's prospects. Portraits of him were produced in great numbers during and after his life, often in engraving or lithograph form, and they helped shape a shared image of the first president as a national figure. Pictures like this one show how a holiday of gratitude and a founder's likeness came to be tied together in the public imagination.
