EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Washington in the uniform of a Colonel of the Virginia Militia during the French & Indian War. The color litho, created by Charles Willson Peale and reproduced from an original painting, beautifully captures Washington's youthful military presence. Washington, who would later become the first President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, is depicted here as a confident and determined leader. His tricorn hat sits atop his head with authority, while his sash drapes across his chest symbolizing his rank. The portrait highlights Washington's contribution to both American and British history as he fought for Britain during the Seven Years War before leading America to independence. It also serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Washington had humble beginnings. Displayed in this three-quarter length portrait, Washington exudes strength and charisma that would shape not only his own destiny but also that of an entire nation. This image offers us a glimpse into 18th-century America - a time when political turmoil was brewing, and men like George Washington were stepping forward to forge their place in history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Peter Newark American Pictures collection, we are reminded of how one man's courage can change the course of nations.
