EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Washington, 1795" by George Isham Parkyns takes us back to the early days of the United States. The artwork showcases the city of Washington D. C. , still in its infancy, as it incorporates the settlements of Georgetown, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia. These two states generously provided land for the development of this new capital city on the north bank of the Potomac River. The print offers a serene view of this burgeoning American metropolis. The landscape is beautifully depicted with lush greenery and a calm river flowing through it. A cart can be seen traversing a road in this rural setting, symbolizing progress and growth. One cannot help but admire how far Washington has come since its establishment in 1791. Named after President George Washington himself, this city has evolved into an iconic symbol of American democracy and power. The inclusion of Dumbarton House adds historical significance to this artwork. This Federal-style mansion served as headquarters for British forces during the War of 1812 and now stands as a museum showcasing early American history. Parkyns' skillful use of watercolor brings life to this scene from over two centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of our nation's past but also its potential for continued development and greatness.
