EDITORS COMMENTS
This photomechanical print, titled "Washington's Inauguration at Philadelphia" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris in 1930, this reproduction is part of the renowned series called Pageant of a Nation. The artwork depicts George Washington, the first president of the United States, arriving at Congress Hall in Philadelphia on March 4,1793. This was his second inauguration as president and marked an important milestone for the young nation. As Commander-in-Chief during the American Revolutionary War and one of the Founding Fathers, Washington played a pivotal role in shaping America's future. In this romanticized illustration, we see Washington surrounded by symbols of patriotism - flags adorned with stars and stripes waving proudly above him. The painting beautifully captures the spirit of independence and freedom that characterized this era. As he takes his oath before Congress, we witness a historic ceremony that solidified America's transition from British colony to an independent nation governed by its own constitution. This event symbolizes not only Washington's leadership but also represents the ideals upon which our great country was built. Through this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, viewers are transported back to a time when America was forging its path towards becoming a democratic republic. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and pays homage to those who laid down their lives for liberty and justice for all.
