Download or read book George and Martha Washington written by Ellen Gross Miles and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RESPONDING TO a near-constant flow of requests, George and Martha Washington sat for about two dozen portraits from 1789 to 1797, collected here in this elegantly illustrated volume. From miniatures executed on ivory for family and friends to a historical portrait that depicts Washington during the Revolution, the../images vary widely in treatment and setting. What they all reflect, Ellen Miles suggests, is the great need the new republic had for portraits of its first chief executive, often to stand in for Washington himself. In the portraits, Martha Washington is usually dressed plainly, her round face composed in a benign but cheerful expression. Portraits of George Washington often show him in military uniform, the pin of the Society of the Cincinnati on his lapel; others have him in black velvet, wearing a simple ruffled white shirt, his hair tied back in a queue. Most observers agreed that Martha was short and pleasant-looking, and that George was nearly six feet tall, had a long nose, large and penetrating light eyes, and a noble forehead. The state of his teeth affects his appearance in some portraits. Washington responded to having his likeness taken with a characteristic mixture of pride in his position and mild irritation. Once, a painter in Boston hid behind a church pulpit to sketch him. Washington's mild chafing at requests for him to sit illustrates the conflict he felt between his obligation to the nation and his desire to return to private life. As Edmund Morgan writes in his preface, Washington "succeeded in clothing the new government with his own honor and left the presidency with a heritage of independence and respect which, despite the antics of so many of his successors, has never quite left it." George and Martha Washington: Portraits from the Presidential Years offers, quite literally, a unique portrait of the original First Couple.

Download or read book Collection of Engraved Portraits of Washington written by James T. Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection of Engraved Portraits of Washington: Belonging to Hon. James T. Mitchell This catalogue embraces the first portion of the collection of engraved portraits of Gen. George Washington gathered by the Hon. Jas. T. Mitchell, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and includes only the portraits described by, or such as would have been described by, the late Mr. Wm. S. Baker in his work on the Engraved Portraits of Washington. When I say would have been, I mean that many in this collection are so rare that Mr. Baker had not the good fortune, in his researches, to come across them, otherwise they would have been included in his book. After mature consideration, I decided to fall back and build on the old foundation, that is, to describe the portraits by the excellent rule laid down by Mr. Baker in his admirable work, which is best understood by col lectors, being aware that those who are possessed of the exclusive Grolier Club book can readily identify the portraits mentioned in that book by the Baker numbers herein given. It will be well to state, whilst mentioning the Grolier Club book, that that publication owes much of its excellence and completeness to the courtesy of Justice Mitchell in allowing Mr. Hart the use of his collection in compiling the same, as many of the rarer items men tioned in it are the only impressions known, and are in this collection. In describing the portraits, we have tried to follow the various forms of letters used in the titles of the prints, which will explain the lack of uniformity in lettering of the titles in this catalogue.
