EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of history - the portrait of George Washington, drawn from life in 1770. The image showcases Washington's iconic pigtail queue hairstyle, a popular trend during the 18th century. As one of America's most influential figures, Washington served as a military general, statesman, and Founding Father before becoming the first president of the United States. The photograph is featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. The oval-shaped frame adds an elegant touch to this historic depiction. Washington's profile is captured with great detail, highlighting his strong features and determined expression. He wears a military uniform adorned with epaulettes on his shoulders, symbolizing his leadership role within the armed forces. This portrait serves as a reminder of Washington's significant contributions to American politics and society. It represents not only an important historical figure but also reflects the fashion trends and styles prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when America was still finding its footing as an independent nation. This print allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the legacy left behind by one of our founding fathers.
