Washington Related: Extraordinary Washington Memorial Broadside
June 27, 1800, Memorial Broadside by W.P. Blake, "General Washington," 19" x 16", London, Fine. Archivally laid-on-the-cloth, and matted to 24.25" x 19". Copper-engraved vignette at top shows one small piece of land holding one tree and surrounded by stormy waters; the tree is bent by the wind but not breaking. George Washington is obviously the tree who stood firm for America during the storm of the Revolution. Small vignette at bottom shows an eagle with arrows in one claw and an olive branch in the other; he holds a shield in front of him and a ribbon in his beak which says "E pluribus unum." Long vertical tear along center; upper portion repaired with archival tape, minor blemishes, otherwise attractive and ready for framing.
