Angelica Peale Crowning Washington, (1877) - A Symbolic Tribute to a Revolutionary Hero
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Albert Bobbett, we witness a moment of profound symbolism as Angelica Peale crowns George Washington with a delicate flower garland. This historic event took place at Grays Ferry, near Philadelphia, where the first President of the United States was hailed as a hero during his journey to his inauguration in New York City. Washington's significance cannot be overstated; he led the Continental troops during the Revolutionary War and played an instrumental role in securing America's independence. As depicted in this engraving from "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers". Volume 2 by Benson J. Lossing, Washington is portrayed not only as a military general but also as an embodiment of national pride and unity. The image beautifully captures the juxtaposition between nature and history. The horse-mounted Washington stands tall amidst lush foliage while being adorned with flowers by Angelica Peale, symbolizing honor and victory. This powerful visual metaphor represents both gratitude for his leadership and hope for the future of our young nation. Created in the late 19th century by Albert Bobbett, this monochrome masterpiece showcases his artistic prowess in capturing historical moments with great detail and emotion. It serves as a timeless reminder of our country's origins and pays homage to one of its most revered founding fathers. As we gaze upon this print today, it evokes feelings of admiration for those who have shaped our nation's destiny while inspiring us to continue striving towards greatness under their guiding principles.
