"La Fayette: A Revolutionary Hero and Friend of Washington" La Fayette, a name that resonates with bravery and valor, played a significant role in shaping the history of the United States. One remarkable moment in their friendship was captured at Valley Forge, where General George Washington and La Fayette stood side by side during the harsh winter of 1777-1778. Their unwavering determination united them as they faced unimaginable hardships together. In honor of this enduring bond, Lafayette Square in Buffalo, New York State stands as a testament to their friendship. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal contributions made by both men towards American independence. A lithograph from 1868 portrays Washington and his friends after an exhilarating hunt in Virginia. Among these esteemed individuals are Wayne, Greene, Pulaski, La Grange - but none more distinguished than La Fayette himself. This artwork captures not only their camaraderie but also highlights Lafayette's significance within Washington's inner circle. Washington's admiration for his friend extended beyond their shared military experiences. In an enchanting color lithograph from c1899 depicting Washington as a Freemason adorned in masonic attire, he holds a scroll and trowel featuring portraits of Marquis de Lafayette and Andrew Jackson alongside biblical scenes. This image symbolizes the deep respect Washington held for Lafayette's contribution to America's foundation. Lafayette's impact stretched far beyond American shores; even Guglielmo Marconi recognized his influence on global affairs when he declared that "This Roundel will go around the world" during the French Revolution in 1789. His words echoed through time, emphasizing how Lafayette became synonymous with liberty worldwide. Caricatures from the 18th century cleverly concealed silhouettes representing Lafayette among other prominent figures of that era. These artworks serve as reminders that even amidst political satire and humor; Lafayettte remained an influential figure who left an indelible mark on history.
