EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts two young figures who played a significant role in the life of George Washington - his stepchildren, John Parke Custis and Martha Parke Custis. The print is based on a painting by John Wollaston created in 1757. In this portrait, we see a distinguished young man standing confidently beside his seated sister. John Parke Custis, born in 1754, was an important figure during the American Revolution but tragically passed away at just 27 years old. His sister Martha, known affectionately as Patsy, was born in 1755 and sadly died at the tender age of 18. The siblings are dressed elegantly in colonial attire, representing their status as members of one of Virginia's prominent families. Their middle-class background is evident through their simple yet refined clothing choices. As we observe this enchanting image closely, our attention is drawn to a bird perched on top of a nearby chair. This subtle detail adds an element of intrigue to the composition and invites us to ponder its symbolic meaning within the context of these remarkable individuals' lives. This historic print provides us with a glimpse into the lives and legacies of Washington's stepchildren - two young souls whose stories intertwine with that of one America's greatest leaders.
