Portrait of George Washington Engraving from the Mid-19th Century
This antique engraved portrait of George Washington is a dignified depiction of the first President of the United States, based on the original painting by Gilbert Stuart. Published around 1850 by J. & F. Tallis in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, this portrait captures the solemnity and leadership of Washington with remarkable attention to detail. The fine cross-hatching technique used in the engraving skillfully brings out the textures of his hair, the folds of his cravat, and the refined simplicity of his attire, embodying the resolute character that defined the American Revolution and the early republic.
The portrait is set within an elaborate decorative border, typical of mid-19th-century engravings that sought to elevate historical figures through ornamental frames. The symmetry and careful design of the border draw the eye to the central figure of Washington, enhancing the sense of reverence and importance that this portrait commands. Each element of the engraving—from the carefully modeled facial features to the crisp, even lines of the border—reflects the engraver's dedication to accuracy and artistry.
This portrait was part of the renowned publication *The History of the United States of America*, edited by John Howard Hinton, which sought to document the nation’s formative figures and pivotal moments. Collectors and enthusiasts of American history will find this piece particularly appealing, as it not only commemorates the father of the nation but also stands as an artifact of 19th-century historical documentation and engraving craftsmanship.
