1813 Silk Broadside by Charles Turell
Not Listed in “Threads” and Unrecorded On Silk
(GEORGE WASHINGTON), Historic Printed White Silk Textile Broadside titled, “WASHINGTON’S LETTER, Declaring his Acceptance of the Command of the Armies of the United States.,” by Charles Turell, Salem, MA., Choice Extremely Fine.
Likely Unique. Not Listed in “Threads of History” and NOT RECORDED as being Printed Upon Silk. This historic American Broadside printed upon Silk measures 17.75” x 11” (by sight) and framed to an overall size of 20.25” x 13.5” in a decoratively engraved wooden frame (no glass and is not examined out of its frame). This important Textile has bold eye appeal,with sharp, crisp printed text and only some slight minor scattered tone and one small text block inked out at the very bottom. This historic American Broadside begins with an introductory thankful statement by then President John Adams, as recorded at the Senate, on July 17th, 1798.
In 1798, President Adams asked George Washington to assume provisional command of the army, with the rank of Lieutenant General. He would be called to active duty as "it becomes indispensable by the urgency of circumstances."
This Unrecorded Silk Broadside reprints George Washington's full letter below John Adam’s statement. Another version of this Broadside was printed on paper by J. Russell in 1798. This version was Printed by Charles Turell of Salem, Massachusetts in 1813. A written statement on the reverse of the frame shows it being presented to his namesake in 1860. It is also Accompanied by a July 14, 1798 dated Newspaper titled, "The Oracle of the Day," announcing George Washington's Appointment, in a report printed on page two. This likely Unique item is to the best of our knowledge, missing in every major collection. (2 items)
John Adams' Presidency was marked by conflict with France, strident criticism of his administration and the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts. A “Quasi-War” erupted with France in 1798, dealing with treaty misunderstandings and America's neutrality during the Napoleonic Wars. The war was restricted to a handful of naval engagements, resulting in the loss of only one American ship. That “Quasi-War” war ended in 1800 with the Treaty of Mortefontaine.
