EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the Life and Times of George Washington. Entitled "George Washington and La Fayette at Valley Forge" this lithograph, published in 1857, transports us back to the harsh winter of 1777-78 during the American Revolutionary War. In this scene, we witness General George Washington alongside Gilbert Motier Marquis de Lafayette at their encampment in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The snowy landscape and freezing conditions serve as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by these brave soldiers. Washington's stern yet determined expression reflects his dedication to inspecting his troops despite the challenging circumstances. Lafayette stands beside him, showcasing their strong alliance between French and American forces during this pivotal time in history. The military uniforms worn by both men are meticulously detailed, emphasizing their authority and leadership within the Continental Army. This portrait not only commemorates their presence but also symbolizes resilience and unity amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, it serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for freedom during America's struggle for independence.
