EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph showcases the proposed colossal statue of George Washington for the City of New York in 1845. Standing at an impressive height of 75 feet, this monumental sculpture was envisioned to honor the great American leader. The accompanying pedestal reaches a towering 55 feet, making the total height an astounding 130 feet. The artist behind this remarkable creation is G. Thomas, who skillfully captured every intricate detail in this lithograph with tint stone. The image transports us back to the Victorian era, where patriotism and admiration for General Washington were at their peak. The concept of such a massive statue reflects not only its physical size but also its symbolic significance as a representation of American pride and unity. This artwork serves as a testament to our country's rich history and pays homage to one of its most revered founding fathers. Displayed proudly within the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this print invites viewers to imagine what could have been if this colossal statue had come to fruition. It sparks curiosity about how it would have transformed both the landscape and people's perception of their nation. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring piece, we are reminded that art has the power to inspire greatness and evoke deep emotions within us all.
