Aggiungi al carrelloFirst state (of two). Stipple engraved broadside measuring 360 by 250mm. Toned, lightly abraded, with some small, closed tears. [Boston, c. The death of George Washington led to a flurry of printed memorials, celebrating a man who was synonymous with the birth of a new nation. This is an excellent example of the genre, listing… important victories during the Revolutionary War (Trenton, Princetown, Monmouth, Yorktown) above a central portrait of Washington, flanked by two cherubs, Fame, and Athena. On the lower right, a weeping soldier has laid his musket on the ground. On the lower left, America's head is turned from the scene. It confirms to the first state with "Painted by John Coles jun." on the bottom left. A plaque beneath the portrait reads: "Sacred to the Memory of the truly Illustrious George Washington, Renowned in War, Great in the Senate, and possessed of every Qualification to render him worthy of the title of a Great and Good Man." Rare: not on OCLC, though we find copies at Yale Art Gallery, Mount Vernon, the Society of the Cincinnati, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Baker, 402; Hart, 221. .
