EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "View of the suburbs of the city of Washington (Georgetown waterfront), c. 1795" offers a glimpse into the early days of America's capital city. Created by George Isham Parkyns, this artwork showcases the picturesque Georgetown waterfront in all its glory. The scene depicts a serene landscape along the Potomac River, with charming houses and buildings dotting the shoreline. The artist skillfully captures the essence of rural development in this growing city, as cartloads move along bustling streets and ships sail gracefully on the river. As we delve into history, it is fascinating to learn that Washington was built upon land generously given by both Maryland and Virginia. This merging incorporated settlements like Georgetown and Alexandria into one grand capital city named after President George Washington himself. The aquatint technique used by Parkyns adds depth and texture to this watercolor masterpiece, enhancing our appreciation for every intricate detail captured within. From Dumbarton House to various wharfs lining Georgetown's harbor, each element contributes to an overall sense of tranquility amidst progress. This rare print from a private collection allows us to travel back in time and witness firsthand how Washington DC began its journey towards becoming one of America's most iconic cities. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, visionaries were shaping landscapes that would leave an indelible mark on history.
