EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1881, we see a young George Washington, the first President of the United States, surveying Lord Fairfax's vast land. The image takes us back to the 18th century, where Washington is depicted wearing his iconic tricorn hat and holding a surveyor's tool. Surrounding him are other men who assist in this important task. This print beautifully captures an essential aspect of Washington's life before he became one of our nation's founding fathers. It showcases his dedication and commitment to meticulously mapping out the land that would later become part of Virginia colony. The artist skillfully portrays Washington as a determined figure with a sense of purpose on his face. His presence commands respect and admiration as he surveys every inch of Lord Fairfax's property. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can't help but reflect on the immense responsibility that fell upon Washington's shoulders throughout his life. From being a skilled surveyor to leading an entire country during its formative years, he truly embodied leadership and integrity. This print serves as a reminder not only of George Washington's significant contributions but also pays homage to all those who played vital roles in shaping America into what it is today.
