Product Details:

1799-1802 (X) Commander in Chief & Staff by Henry Alexander Ogden depicts George Washington as the Commander in Chief of the United States Army from 1798 until his death in 1799. This period was during the Quasi-War with France, when Washington was recalled to service (though largely in a symbolic or advisory capacity). He was appointed by President John Adams to lead the newly expanded U.S. Army in case of French invasion. The timeframe 1799–1802 on the image likely reflects the uniform regulations or styles of that era, rather than the exact active service years of Washington himself. Ogden's illustrations typically group uniforms by regulation period, and the inclusion of Washington with staff officers shows how uniforms would have appeared across different ranks and roles during that time.
