Wooden frame with some water damage (flaking) on the bottom and top left.
I don’t even know where to start, because I love this so much I nearly kept it for myself instead of posting it here. The text on the bottom reads: “WASHINGTON’S RECEPTION BY THE LADIES, ON PASSING THE BRIDGE AT TRENTON, N.J. 1789. ON HIS WAY TO NEW YORK TO BE INAUGURATED FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”
For reasons beyond my comprehension, only selected portions of this print were colorized – the ladies’ flowers, the future President’s jacket and saddle, and of course, the American flag. I’m still dumbstruck. I think this speaks for itself. (It whispers to me, it says… “I am TOTALLY RAD.” Thanks, talking print.) Perfect for anyone with a little bit of state pride, an interest in history, or love of the ladies. Anyone I missed? $39.99
