by Mr. L.W. Washington and Mr. Moncure D. Conway that this is a portrait
of Betty Washington Lewis, but in this they are wholly in error, as proof exists that it is a portrait of Mrs. Washington before her second marriage. SURVEY OF MOUNT VERNON HILLS Made by Washington as a boy, and one of the earliest specimens of his work. The small drawing of the house represents it as it was before Washington enlarged it, and is the only picture of it known. Original in the Department of State. MOUNTAIN ROAD LOTTERY TICKET From the original in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. FAMILY GROUP Painted by Edward Savage about 1795, and issued as a large engraving in 1798. The original picture is now in the possession of Mr. William F. Havemeyer, of New York. DINNER INVITATION The official invitation while President, from the original in the possession of the author. |
