EDITORS COMMENTS
A Festive Gathering at Mount Vernon: George Washington's Christmas Dinner, Circa 1790 This evocative print depicts a scene of merriment and camaraderie at the home of George Washington during the Christmas season of circa 1790. The setting is the grand dining room at Mount Vernon, where Washington and his esteemed guests have gathered to celebrate the holiday. The room is adorned with festive decorations, including garlands of holly and evergreens, and a large, ornate fireplace crackles with warmth. At the head of the table, Washington raises his glass in a toast, proposing a cheer to "all our friends." The guests, dressed in the fashionable attire of the day, join in the spirit of the moment, lifting their own glasses in response. The table is laden with an array of delicious foods, from roasted meats and poultry to fruits, vegetables, and breads. Steaming bowls of soup and platters of sweets add to the bounty of the feast. The custom of hosting a grand Christmas dinner was a cherished tradition for Washington and his family. The holiday season was a time for celebrating the blessings of the harvest and reconnecting with loved ones and friends. This print captures the essence of that spirit, offering a glimpse into the festive atmosphere and warm hospitality that characterized Washington's Mount Vernon home during the holidays.
