Classic "1801" Dated Mezzotint of George Washington

March 14, 1801, Mezzotint of George Washington by I. Hinton, London, About Fine.
A 13.75" x 9.75" mezzotint print on matting with overall size of 18" x 14.25". After the 1790 painting by Edward Savage, but with a standing pose. Washington's hand is on an unrolled document which says, "America Independent 1776 A Treaty With France 1778 A General Peace 1783." Under the image in the lower margin is the following phrase: "George Washington. Late President of the United States of America, &c..." Overall toning, a couple of tiny edge chips, some slight wear in the background, and a 1/2 inch closed tear just above Washington's left shoulder. Few minor flaws that do not detract from the overall quality of the image!

The death of George Washington on December 14, 1799 released an outpouring of grief both at home and abroad.
