EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century showcases a remarkable fusion of two nations' symbols and ideals. In this print, we see George Washington, the revered founding father of the United States, riding proudly on the back of a galloping horse. The medallion featuring his portrait is placed prominently on the French flag, symbolizing both Washington's dedication to his country and his close ties with France during America's fight for independence. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their skill in capturing Washington's stoic expression and regal presence is evident. Every detail, from the intricate patterns on the flag to the lifelike depiction of the horse, demonstrates an exceptional level of craftsmanship. Washington himself was known for his selfless devotion to his nation's well-being rather than personal glory. The caption "Who knew no glory but his country's good" perfectly encapsulates this aspect of his character. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Washington's unwavering commitment to freedom and unity. Now part of a private collection, this chromolithograph continues to inspire admiration for both its subject matter and artistic merit. It stands as a testament to George Washington's enduring legacy as one who played an instrumental role in shaping not only American history but also international relations during a pivotal era in world affairs.
