EDITORS COMMENTS

In this scene, we witness an iconic moment as George Washington takes his oath of office to become the first President of the United States. Standing tall on a podium adorned with American flags, he holds his right hand upon an open Bible while raising his left hand in a solemn vow. Surrounding him are distinguished men dressed in elegant clothing - some founding fathers who played pivotal roles in shaping America's future. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as clergyman Nathaniel Merritt leads the ceremony, symbolizing the importance of faith and spirituality within governance. The grandeur of Federal Hall serves as a backdrop for this historic event, emphasizing its significance as both a physical space and symbolic representation of democracy. Currier & Ives masterfully captured this momentous occasion through their meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of lithography techniques. The lithograph exudes pride and admiration for our nation's beginnings while paying homage to those who laid its foundation. This print serves as a timeless reminder that our country was built upon principles such as liberty, justice, and unity – values that continue to guide us today.
