EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historic moment as General George Washington, the newly elected President of the United States of America, embarks on his journey from Mount Vernon to his inauguration in New York City on April 20, 1789. The grandeur of the occasion is reflected in the triumphal arches erected at Grays Ferry, near Philadelphia, to welcome the esteemed leader on his way to assume office. The image presents a striking east view of the scene, with Washington's horse-drawn carriage making its way under the impressive archway, surrounded by a throng of onlookers. The crowd, a mix of soldiers, civilians, and dignitaries, stands in awe of the man who would become the first President of the young nation. The print, created in the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the pomp and circumstance of Washington's inauguration. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the ornate decorations adorning the arches, as well as the intricate uniforms of the soldiers and the elegant attire of the bystanders. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of George Washington and the profound impact he had on the formation of the United States of America. It serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of Washington's inauguration and the pivotal role he played in shaping the course of American history.
