EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century captures a historic moment in American history - George Washington's inauguration as the first president of the United States. The scene depicts Washington bowing to a jubilant crowd outside Federal Hall in New York City on April 30,1789. The image showcases the grandeur and significance of this pivotal event. Dressed in an elegant coat, Washington stands on a raised platform, surrounded by patriotic flags and symbols of the newly formed nation. The late afternoon sunlight filters through arched windows, illuminating his figure as he humbly acknowledges the cheers and adoration from those below. The artist skillfully portrays both the solemnity and excitement of this occasion. The crowd is filled with men who are captivated by their new leader, while some raise their cups in celebration. A prominent armchair symbolizes authority and power, reminding viewers that they are witnessing history being made. Federal Hall itself serves as a majestic backdrop for this seminal moment. Its iconic cupola rises above Washington's head, representing not only the physical structure but also the ideals upon which America was founded. This wood engraving encapsulates patriotism and reverence for our founding fathers' vision for a united nation under one leader. It reminds us of George Washington's crucial role in shaping America's destiny and lays testament to his enduring legacy as our first president.
