EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic day of April 30,1789, when George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States. The scene captured here showcases Wall Street in New York City bustling with activity and anticipation. Hand-colored to bring out its vibrant details, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century transports us to a bygone era. The image depicts a city brimming with energy and heritage. Crowds gather along the street, eagerly awaiting Washington's arrival. Pedestrians navigate through a sea of people while horse-drawn carriages traverse the busy thoroughfare. The air is thick with excitement as citizens celebrate this momentous occasion. Federal Hall stands tall in the background, serving as a symbolic backdrop for this significant event in American history. The iconic 13-star flag proudly flutters above it, representing unity among the newly formed states. As we gaze upon this vintage snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our nation's roots and how far we have come since that fateful day over two centuries ago. It serves as a testament to our enduring democracy and pays homage to those who laid its foundation. This remarkable piece of art encapsulates not only an important historical milestone but also captures the spirit and essence of New York City itself – vibrant, diverse, and always at the forefront of progress.
