Additional Information
Based on his earlier work, known as the Athenaeum Portrait, this lithographic print by Gilbert Stuart remains one of the most iconic and enduring images of America's first president George Washington. It would later be used as a reference for the image of the $1 bill. Stuart produced numerous editions of the print that would go on to represent the legacy and significance of Washington's impact on the development of the United States in the years following the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. This print was produced by Pendleton Lithography, a Boston-based firm that was prolific during its short time in business.
This print represents the expansion of early American presidential history and immediately transports the viewer back in time, linking them to the heritage and importance of these formative years. The tradition of official presidential portraits remains one of the most culturally essential pieces of former leaders' legacies. While the Athenaeum Portrait was never completed, Stuart completed this illustration. However, the exact date of completion remains in question, with most historical scholars attributing it to a period between 1825 and 1828.
Washington remains one of America's most influential political figures and helped guide the nation in its earliest phases, establishing some historical precedents, including two-term presidencies. Washington was born in Colonial Virginia and was an influential leader in the years leading up to the revolution. Washington was among the founding fathers to author the Constitution and became a vocal opponent of British colonial rule in North America in the eighteenth century.
