EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing Mount Vernon, the historic plantation home of George Washington. The image was beautifully captured by artist James Preston in 1921 and is featured in the book "Famous Colonial Houses" by Paul M Hollister. Located near Alexandria, Virginia, Mount Vernon stands as a symbol of American history and political legacy. As we gaze upon this colorful print, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent mansion nestled amidst lush greenery. A horse-drawn stagecoach approaches along the driveway, reminding us of a time when transportation relied on these majestic animals. The image evokes a sense of grandeur and tranquility that characterized colonial America. It transports us to an era where politics intertwined with country living and statesmen like George Washington shaped the destiny of a young nation. James Preston's artistic talent shines through in his meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only the architectural beauty but also conveying the essence of life during that period. The vibrant colors bring vitality to every element within this scene - from the horses' powerful presence to each brick on Mount Vernon's facade. As we admire this historical gem preserved through artistry and literature, let it serve as a reminder of our rich heritage and inspire us to appreciate both past accomplishments and future possibilities for our great United States of America.
