(GEORGE WASHINGTON.) [John J. Barralet, artist and engraver.] [Commemoration of Washington.] Engraving, 23 x 16½ inches to sight; substantial surface loss in upper part of print, 3 small punctures, laid down on linen and mounted on stretchers. Not examined out of elaborate period frame; state undetermined. No place, circa 1802-1820 This literally uplifting image was first published in 1802. Washington is raised from his tomb by two figures described in the advertisement as "Immortality" and "the spiritual and temporal Genius." The weeping allegorical figure of America mourns at his feet, bearing a liberty pole and trampling a serpent, with a mourning Indian beside her. The emblems of the Society of the Cincinnati and the Freemasons hang on ribbons from the tomb. This print was often known as "The Apotheosis of Washington," but never actually bore that caption. Hart 675; Wick 101.
