Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution

First President of the United States of America

Very nice antique portrait engraving, of the "Father of Our Country," President George Washington, in an oval format. Executed from the original painting as done by Stuart. Published by John, Fry & Co., New York. 8 x 10 3/4. Light age toning.

George Washington was revered by citizens from the North and South alike, and portraits like this one hung in the parlors of many homes during the American Civil War years, 1861-1865.
