EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a significant moment in American history as George Washington, the first President of the United States, plans the laying of the cornerstone for the Capitol Building in 1799. The image, titled "George Washington, President of the USA, presides at the altar of his Lodge while planning the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol Building, Washington," provides a unique glimpse into the past. Washington, dressed in formal attire, is depicted standing at an altar, surrounded by masons in their distinctive aprons and hats. The setting suggests that the event was taking place within the context of a Masonic lodge, reflecting Washington's membership in the Freemasons. The Capitol Building, a symbol of American democracy and government, looms in the background, under construction and still in its early stages. The year is 1799, and Washington's leadership and vision are guiding the young nation through its formative years. The laying of the cornerstone for the Capitol Building was an important milestone in the development of the American government, and Washington's presence at the event underscores his commitment to the project and his role as a founding father. The photograph, taken from an anonymous source, is a testament to the rich history of the United States and the influential figures who shaped its destiny. It is a reminder of the past, a window into the past, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of George Washington and the Capitol Building.
