George Washingtons Farewell to his Generals
Vintage illustration depicts General George Washington leaving Whitehall Ferry on December 4, 1783, to the cheers and waves of his officers. Earlier that day, Washington left his fellow generals, Knox, Steuben, Greene, and then-Colonel Hamilton, at New Yorks famed Francis Tavern where he informed them that he will be resigning his commission and returning to civilian life. However, in 1789, Washington was coaxed out of retirement and elected as the first president of the United States, a position he held until 1797

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration captures a poignant moment in American history - George Washington's Farewell to his Generals. The print showcases General Washington departing from Whitehall Ferry on December 4,1783, as his officers cheer and wave him off. It symbolizes the end of an era, as earlier that day at Francis Tavern in New York City, Washington bid farewell to his fellow generals - Knox, Steuben, Greene, and the then-Colonel Hamilton - announcing his resignation from military service. Little did anyone know that this would not be the last they saw of Washington's leadership. In a surprising turn of events in 1789, he was coaxed out of retirement and elected as the first president of the United States. This unexpected twist highlights both Washington's dedication to serving his country and the immense trust placed upon him by his fellow citizens. The print by Keith Lance beautifully captures this historical moment with its attention to detail and evocative portrayal. It serves as a reminder of Washington's pivotal role in shaping America's early years and becoming an enduring symbol of leadership for generations to come
