This print shows George Washington himself rather than a battlefield, which is why it sits among the Revolutionary War battle images. The record credits Edward S. Best but gives few other details about the work's date or source. Washington commanded the Continental Army from 1775 until the war ended in 1783, guiding it through harsh winters and decisive engagements such as Trenton and Yorktown. Portraits of him were widely reproduced in the decades that followed, and they became one of the most common ways Americans came to remember the general and first president.
