Sobre este artículo
[Germantown, PA: Germantown Print Works, ca. 1806]. First Edition. Original kerchief printed in black on cream glazed cotton, unstitched borders; ink has blurred a bit (possibly at time of production based on other copies we've seen), top edge very slightly frayed, else Near Fine. Quite an impressive and dark impression of this poetry broadside / kerchief celebrating the legend of young George Washington and the cherry tree, the image and accompanying poem depicting the tree as still standing, having only been accidentally but fatally wounded by the careless George as he was chopping off the heads of flowers in the family garden. When confronted with the deed, the culprit cries "Papa, I cannot, will not tell a lie! / My sharp bright hatchet gave the naughty stroke." THREADS OF HISTORY 39, noting variants also printed in brown and blue.
