Federal Period Engraving of President George Washington
(1798) Federal Period Engraving of President George Washington, by Lawson Sc, Published by R. Campbell and Co., Choice Very Fine.
This impressive original Engraving measures 4.25" x 7", laid down to larger 8.5” x 11” sheet for display. There is a large central Portrait image of President Washington shown in his civilian clothes inside an oval border. A sword, armor helmet and document case sit upon an alter shelf, with the large name title “G. Washington” inscribed on its base. Very clean with choice contrast, a couple of trivial marginal edge splits in the outer mount not near the print. Published by R. Campbell & Company (in 1798), after a Painting by J. Paul. A rare, handsome Engraving and the first we have offered. Listed as Baker 274, Wick 64.
