Life of George Washington, the Soldier 1854 — a mid-century lithograph reaching backward seventy years to enshrine the General in martial bearing, published when an anxious republic, already fracturing over slavery and expansion, looked to its first soldier as a unifying memory it could no longer entirely keep.
About the Source
Bella Frye sources artifacts from the great American historical archive — the Library of Congress, the National Archives, regional historical societies, and the lithographic publishers (Currier & Ives, Kurz & Allison, Endicott, Sarony, Prang) who documented the republic from its founding through the early twentieth century. The aged paper tone, the engraver's hand, and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print.
Materials & Finish
Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:
- Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
- Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
- Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded
Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.
Where It Belongs
Libraries, studies, civic offices, and any space that takes American political history seriously — the years of speeches that built the country and the divisions that nearly broke it. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Republic collection — political broadsides, presidential portraits, military scenes, and the artifacts of American memory.
