"Death of Washington" is a notable lithograph produced by the prominent American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives in 1857, Currier & Ives became renowned for their mass-produced, hand-colored lithographs that depicted a wide array of subjects, including historical events, landscapes, and everyday life in 19th-century America. The firm’s prints were highly popular and accessible, making art available to the general public at a time when original artworks were often beyond the financial reach of many.

The "Death of Washington" lithograph captures a poignant moment in American history, commemorating the passing of George Washington, the first President of the United States, who died on December 14, 1799. This print is emblematic of the firm's ability to evoke strong emotional responses and a sense of national pride through their work. The image typically portrays Washington on his deathbed, surrounded by family members and close associates, reflecting the reverence and respect held for him as a founding father and leader.

Currier & Ives' depiction of Washington's death is not only a tribute to the man himself but also serves as a reflection of the 19th-century American values and the burgeoning sense of national identity. The lithograph would have been part of a larger body of work that aimed to educate and inspire the public by highlighting significant moments and figures in American history.

The firm’s prints, including "Death of Washington," were produced using a process that involved creating an image on a lithographic stone, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. These prints were often hand-colored by a team of artists, adding vibrancy and detail to the final product. The widespread distribution of Currier & Ives prints helped to cement their place in American cultural history, and their works remain highly collectible and studied for their artistic and historical significance.
