Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph 1882 Engraved Portrait of a Young Martha Washington Engraving of Martha Washington as a young woman, after the original painting by John Wollaston and engraved by J. C. Buttre in 1878; published in 1882 First ladies’ pictures are not confined to official and personal portraits. Admirers have been able to purchase copies of photographs, along with lithographs, engravings, and a variety of souvenirs printed with first ladies’ likenesses. For a time, advertisers appropriated images without consent, and presidents’ wives found themselves endorsing products that they had never used. These images can give us insight into the public’s perception of, and interest in, the first ladies.Martha Washington (1731-1802): Martha Washington was the wife of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Although the title was not coined until after her death, Martha Washington is considered to be the first First Lady of the United States.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
