"George Washington, First President of the United States" c. 1850s, Engraving by F. Michelin, NY, Choice Very Fine. This 11" x 8.75" engraving features a border expanding the overall size to 17" x 13.5". Washington's black jacket and snow-white shirt and hair are vividly backed by a wine-colored drapery with a gold cord, a green cover on the small table in front of him, and the gold-toned hilt of the sword across his arm. His cheeks and lips are slightly tinted pink. Printing in the border under the image reads: "George Washington, / First President of the United States." A tape-repaired tear in the upper left selvage does not reach the image. Minor tone spots and blemishes in the selvage do not affect the image. A nice portrait, ready for framing. Early American will accept payment by check or credit card. ImagesClick on thumbnails to see larger images:
