EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, titled "Washington's Reception by the Ladies on Passing the Bridge at Trenton, N. J. April 1789, on His Way to be Inaugurated First President of the United States" captures a pivotal moment in American history. Created by Nathaniel Currier in 1845, this artwork showcases General George Washington's triumphant return to Trenton after his victory at the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War. In this vibrant scene, we see Washington crossing a covered bridge while being greeted by a group of patriotic women holding flowers and waving flags. The atmosphere is filled with hero worship and patriotism as these ladies express their admiration for their beloved leader. Currier masterfully depicts the lush natural surroundings that frame this historic event. The horses ridden by Washington and his fellow horsemen add dynamism to the composition, symbolizing strength and determination. As one of America's most celebrated artists from the 19th century, Currier skillfully uses color and detail to bring this momentous occasion to life. This hand-tinted lithograph not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical event but also highlights Currier's artistic prowess. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print stands as a testament to our country's rich heritage and pays homage to General George Washington – an iconic figure who played a crucial role in shaping America into what it is today.
