EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithographic print depicts a pivotal moment in American history: the swearing-in of General George Washington as the first President of the United States at the Old City Hall in New York on April 30, 1789. The historic event took place just a few months after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and marked the beginning of the federal government under the new charter. Washington, dressed in his military uniform, stands confidently with his hand on a Bible held by the Chancellor of New York, Robert R. Livingston. Surrounded by a crowd of distinguished figures, including members of the Electoral College and various state delegations, Washington takes the oath of office, pledging to uphold the Constitution and serve the people of the new nation. The Old City Hall, located in what is now Lower Manhattan, served as the seat of New York City government from 1701 to 1811. Its historic significance as the site of Washington's presidential inauguration adds to the importance of this image in American history. This beautiful lithograph, produced in 1789, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the United States. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the founding fathers, who established a government based on the principles of democracy, equality, and freedom. This print is an essential addition to any collection of American historical art or a space dedicated to the study of early American history.
