Lithograph colour print depicting George Washington, on horseback, in action during the Battle of the Monongahela. The battle took place on July 9 1755 in the vicinity of present day Braddock, Pennsylvania, and saw a British force under General Edward Braddock defeated by an alliance of French troops and Native Americans. Washington, a Colonel, was an aide to Braddock, who was fatally wounded in the fighting, and distinguished himself by riding back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnants of the defeated British forces and helping to ensure they made an organised retreat. Washington (1732 - 1799) later became the commander of the Continental Army (1775 – 1783) in the American Revolutionary War and the first US President (1789 - 1797). Print circa 1854 by Regnier, based on a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns (1810 - 1885).
