EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PPRE2A-00221" transports us back to the 18th century in Virginia, where a young George Washington is depicted as a surveyor. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut illustration showcases the historic significance of one of America's founding fathers. In this vintage artwork, we witness a pivotal moment in Washington's early life as he diligently carries out his duties as an apprentice surveyor. Equipped with his trusty instrument and wearing period clothing, he meticulously measures and maps the land around him. The level of precision displayed reflects both his dedication to his job and the importance of accurate surveys during that era. Notably, amidst the backdrop of colonial Virginia, we observe an African American figure working alongside Washington. This inclusion highlights the often-overlooked contributions made by free Black individuals in shaping American history. As we admire this piece of artistry from North Wind Picture Archives, it serves as a reminder not only of George Washington's multifaceted role but also sheds light on lesser-known aspects of our nation's past. Through this hand-colored woodcut illustration capturing an iconic moment in time, viewers are transported into the world where young George Washington embarked on his journey towards becoming one of America's most influential figures.
