EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of General Lafayette's departure from Mount Vernon in 1784, as he bids farewell to his dear friend and mentor, George Washington. The print, dating between 1840 and 1860, depicts Washington on the portico of his Virginia estate, surrounded by his family, as he shakes hands with the young Frenchman. Lafayette, dressed in the uniform of a French officer, stands before his carriage, which is ready to transport him back to France. Their friendship began during the American Revolution, when Lafayette arrived in America to offer his support to the rebellious colonists. Washington, impressed by the young general's courage and leadership, welcomed him into his army and entrusted him with important commands. After the war, their bond deepened, and Lafayette became a cherished guest at Mount Vernon. However, Lafayette's time in America was coming to an end, and he was required to return to France to attend to his family and political obligations. The scene in this print shows the emotional farewell between the two men, with Washington's family looking on with sadness and respect. The image is a testament to the deep connection between these two great leaders, who would remain friends and allies until their deaths. The print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the enduring friendship between George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, two of the most influential figures of the late 18th century.
