EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PPRE2A-00158" takes us back to a defining moment in American history - the inauguration of George Washington as the first President of the United States in 1789. Hand-colored and engraved with meticulous detail, this 19th-century illustration beautifully captures the essence of that historic ceremony. Set against the backdrop of New York City's bustling streets, we witness President Washington taking his oath of office on Wall Street at Federal Hall. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and reverence as citizens gather to witness this pivotal event in our nation's birth. The image showcases President Washington holding a Bible while standing tall and resolute, symbolizing not only his commitment to serve but also the birth of a new government. Surrounding him are distinguished figures such as John Adams, who would later become president himself, representing unity and continuity within our federal government. This artful depiction transports us back to an era when America was forging its path towards independence and self-governance. It serves as a reminder that every great journey begins with one bold step forward. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, let it inspire us to reflect on our own roles within society and how we can contribute towards shaping a better future for generations to come.
