EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Angelica Peale crowning George Washington, a significant event in American history. The engraving, created by Felix Octavius Carr Darley and part of a private collection, beautifully depicts this symbolic gesture. The image showcases Angelica Peale, an influential figure in her own right as an accomplished artist and daughter of renowned portrait painter Charles Willson Peale. With delicate flowers in hand, she is seen placing a garland on the head of George Washington, the first President of the United States. This scene represents more than just a simple adornment; it symbolizes the admiration and respect that Americans had for their leader during this pivotal time in our nation's development. It serves as a reminder of Washington's crucial role in shaping America and his status as a revered national hero. The engraving was originally published as an illustration for an unidentified edition of "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers from the Discovery of America to the Present Time" by Benson J Lossing around 1880. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork offers us a glimpse into early American culture and reminds us of our rich heritage.
