EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Views on the Potomac below Washington" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the scenic beauty and bustling activity along the Potomac River. The English School artist skillfully captures a general view of this iconic American river, showcasing its serene waters dotted with various boats and vessels. The print transports us to a time when Mount Vernon was still visible in all its grandeur from across the river. The majestic estate of George Washington adds an air of historical significance to this already picturesque scene. As we observe closely, we can spot a fort in the distance - Fort Washington, standing tall as a symbol of protection for the United States capital. Boats gracefully navigate through these tranquil waters, their presence adding life and movement to an otherwise peaceful setting. A tugboat stands out among them, reminding us of the importance of transport and trade during that era. This remarkable artwork originally appeared as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on May 18th, 1861. Preserved within private collections today, it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation.
