1862 Framed George Washington Print Art Gilbert Stuart History President USA
1862. An excellent steel engraving of George Washington by William E. Marshall published in 1862, based on the famous oil portrait in the Boston Athenaeum by Gilbert Stuart. Professionally matted and framed. Marshall was well known for his superb portrait of Lincoln, issued in 1866, and for his equally fine engraving of Grant issued a few years later. Those prints were perhaps inspired in part by this excellent portrait of Washington. It was issued as a subscriber's print for The Christian Union, a newspaper published by J.B. Ford & Co. One of the best mid-nineteenth century portraits of the first president by an artist who would later produce what is often considered the best contemporary portrait of the 16th president. The print image measures 13 3/8" x 11 1/4". The frame measures approximately 24.25" x 18.25". Some faint staining at the bottom of the print. The print is gently toned with faint foxing.
