EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Currier & Ives in 1876, depicts a pivotal moment in American history - the acceptance of George Washington as Commander in Chief during the Second Continental Congress on June 15th, 1775. The print showcases Washington's unwavering dedication to his country and his role in leading the rebellion against British rule. In this powerful image, we see General Washington standing tall and proud amidst a group of men and women who have gathered to witness this historic event. Clad in his military uniform, he exudes an aura of strength and determination that resonates with the audience. The lithograph captures the essence of patriotism with its vibrant colors and attention to detail. The faces of those present reflect a mix of anticipation, admiration, and hope for a better future. Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives skillfully bring this significant moment to life through their artistic interpretation. Notably, one woman is seen holding a handkerchief tightly as she witnesses this monumental occasion unfold before her eyes. This gesture symbolizes both her emotional connection to the revolutionary cause and her support for Washington's leadership. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are reminded of George Washington's pivotal role as one of our nation's founding fathers. His acceptance as Commander in Chief marked the beginning of an arduous journey towards independence that would shape America into what it is today.
