EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the esteemed Marquis de Lafayette during his tour of the United States in 1824. Standing tall in a carriage, Lafayette gracefully removes his hat as he recognizes the widow of Robert Morris, a touching gesture that demonstrates his respect and compassion. The crowds gathered in Philadelphia cheer enthusiastically, their admiration for this French soldier and statesman evident. The artist Alice Barber Stephens skillfully brings this historical event to life through her intricate drawing from 1894. Every detail is meticulously portrayed, from Lafayette's noble stature to the expressions of joy on the faces of both spectators and Lafayette himself. The early American setting adds an extra layer of authenticity to this remarkable piece. Lafayette's visit to America was met with great excitement and reverence as he was hailed as a hero for his vital role in supporting the American Revolution decades earlier. This drawing beautifully captures the reception he received during his tour, where people eagerly welcomed him with open arms. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this extraordinary moment through their high-quality reproduction of Stephens' artwork. It serves as a reminder not only of Lafayette's influential presence but also of the enduring spirit and gratitude felt by Americans towards those who fought for their freedom.
