Excerpt from The Engraved Portraits of Washington: Notices of the Originals and Brief Biographical, Sketches of the PaintersThe portraits of Washington are fortunately not restricted to a single example nor limited to the individual painter, and while extending over the greater portion of his life, cover more particularly the years devoted to his country.
