Washingtoniana

Undated George Washington Portrait in Copper, in a Wood and Glass Frame. 160 mm x 33 mm thick. Extremely Fine.

Very old high relief electrotype shell portrait of George Washington, facing half left, mounted on a black velvet background. Unsigned. In a turned round wooden frame with a domed glass protective cover. The back has a cardboard-like disc nailed onto the wooden frame, with a brass loop at the top, allowing it to be displayed on the wall. Impressive and sound, and other than for a slight dent on Washington's chin, showing no significant damage, and only slight signs of normal use.
