EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the first meeting between two influential figures in American history, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. Taken from Life and Times of Washington, Volume I, published in 1857, this lithograph by Alonzo Chappel transports us back to a significant event that shaped the nation. In this scene, we witness General Washington dismounting his horse as he is introduced to an eager young soldier named Alexander Hamilton. The military uniforms worn by both men serve as a reminder of their shared dedication to serving their country. As the first President of the United States, Washington's presence exudes authority and wisdom while Hamilton's youthful energy hints at his future role as an American statesman. The composition beautifully captures the gravity of this encounter; it is a pivotal moment where destiny intertwines with ambition. This image not only commemorates their initial meeting but also symbolizes the birth of a powerful partnership that would greatly influence America's trajectory. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect on our nation's past and appreciate these extraordinary individuals who played instrumental roles in shaping its foundation. Through artistry and historical significance combined, we are reminded once again of how these two great minds came together for a common cause - laying down the groundwork for what would become one of history's most formidable nations.
