Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia, is the setting here, a church where George Washington worshipped and kept a family pew. The scene shows the churchyard on Easter Sunday, 1795, with carriages, children, and period dress, as Washington arrives among the congregation. This color halftone is a reproduction of a painting by J.L.G. Ferris, a American artist known for historical genre scenes. It was issued around 1908 by Brown & Bigelow, a St. Paul firm that made many widely distributed calendar and advertising prints.
