Large Rare Banner George Washington

A very rare large banner of America's First President George Washington. Includes the wording "Dated 1776 Says; THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY" This banner was most likely used at the Centennial held in Philadelphia in 1876 and used again a few years later during the celebrations to mark the 100th Anniversary of Washington death in 1899. Washington died in 1799 and in 1899 there was quite a bit of remembrance and celebration of his passing. Unlike today he was still quite revered and admired as the Father of our Country. A great and impressive large piece which would be the centerpiece of any collection. Beautifully framed and ready for display in your library, office, den or collection.
