Product Details:
The First Meeting of Washington and Lafayette, Philadelphia, August 3rd, 1777 by Currier & Ives depicts the legendary first encounter between General George Washington and the young French nobleman Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette in Philadelphia on August 3, 1777. Lafayette, only 19 years old, had traveled to America at his own expense to offer his services to the Continental Army. The image portrays the moment Washington welcomes the enthusiastic volunteer, foreshadowing one of the most significant military friendships of the American Revolution. Although the scene is idealized, it symbolizes the trust and mutual respect that developed between the two men, a relationship that proved instrumental in securing French military support and ultimately American independence.
