EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the inauguration of George Washington as the first President of the United States. The image showcases a view of the pontoon bridge at Grays Ferry near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Washington made his way to New York City for his inauguration on April 20,1789. The scene is adorned with magnificent triumphal arches erected to honor Washington's arrival. These arches symbolize the anticipation and excitement surrounding this historic event. The etching, created by James Trenchard based on a drawing by C. W. Peale, beautifully portrays the grandeur of this occasion. In this late 18th-century depiction, we see men gathered along the riverside eagerly awaiting Washington's arrival. A group of horsemen can be seen crossing the pontoon bridge while an American flag proudly waves atop a flagpole nearby. The presence of liberty caps further emphasizes their patriotic spirit. This image not only commemorates Washington's journey but also serves as a reminder of America's founding fathers and their vision for a new nation built upon principles of freedom and democracy. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand an important chapter in our country's history. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the significance of these historical moments that shaped America into what it is today.
