This coloured engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of a New Year's Reception at the White House in Washington, D. C. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a momentous occasion filled with joy and celebration. The scene depicts men and women elegantly dressed, mingling amidst the grandeur of one of America's most historic houses. Their faces radiate excitement as they engage in lively conversations and exchange warm greetings. Children can be seen adding to the festive ambiance, their youthful energy bringing an extra touch of delight to this special event. Hand-coloured in the Victorian style, this print beautifully highlights every detail - from intricate patterns on gowns to ornate decorations adorning the room. It is evident that no expense was spared in creating an enchanting setting for this memorable gathering.
