This reproduction print of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" is a stunning tribute to the iconic 1851 painting by the German-American artist Emanuel Leutze. This historical tableau captures a pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War, when General George Washington led his troops across the icy Delaware River just after Christmas on December 26, 1776. The original painting, brimming with patriotism and dramatic flair, has become a symbol of the American spirit of perseverance and courage in the face of adversity. Looks great in a cozy reading space!

According to oral history, in 1776, George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross visited Betsy Ross at her upholstery shop in Philadelphia. Washington presented a sketch of a flag for Betsy to make, comprised of 13 red and white stripes and 13 six-pointed stars.

On May 29, 1777, Betsy Ross was paid by the Pennsylvania State Navy Board for making flags. On June 14, 1777, Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as our official national flag.
