“G. WASHINGTON” Medal Alexandre Tardieu Engraved
Print of “G. WASHINGTON” Medal, Engraved by Alexandre Tardieu, After a Painting by Houdon, France, Extremely Fine.
3” x 3” uncolored engraving on fine-laid paper, 7.75” x 4.75.” Clipped along left edge. Handsome rendering of a Washington medal “Dessine et Grave d’apries Houdon par Alexandre Tardieu.” The profile of Washington with gentle, curly hair pulled back and tied in a pony tail is most likely a proof design for a medal. Caption beneath image is in French: “Pour sauver sou pays du pouvoir arbitraire, Washington combattit en guerrier valeureux: Mais il acquit bien plus qu’une gloire vulgaire; Il fut homme d’Etat, humain et vertueux. Par J. Castera. Very light toned paper, some staining along edges, and penciled notations--not affecting image.
