EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in American history as George Washington, the nation's first president, makes his way to his inauguration in New York City in April 1789. Dressed in his finest attire and seated in an elegant carriage, Washington is surrounded by a throng of curious onlookers, his neighbors from nearby towns and villages, who have come to bid him farewell and wish him well on his momentous journey. The scene is set against the backdrop of the 18th century landscape, with horses and carriages filling the streets and the sun casting long shadows over the bustling crowd. Washington's inauguration in New York marked the formal beginning of the American government under the new Constitution, which had been ratified by the necessary number of states just months earlier. The event was a grand affair, with representatives from all 13 original colonies in attendance, as well as dignitaries from other countries. Washington's inauguration speech, delivered on the balcony of Federal Hall, emphasized the importance of unity and the need for the new government to work for the common good of all Americans. This print, depicting Washington's departure for his inauguration, offers a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the founding of the American republic. It is a poignant reminder of the deep connections between the people and their leaders, and the sense of community that bound together the early American colonies in their quest for self-governance and independence.
