Mort Kunstler Artist Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Canvas Giclee:"The Toast (George Washington)"
Artist: Mort Kunstler
Title: The Toast
About The Art:
The troops – now cheerful and well-fed – were drilling efficiently on May 5, 1778, when Washington announced tremendous news. On February 6, 1778, in Paris, French and American ministers had signed the Treaty of Alliance to bring France into the war on the side of the United States, as well as the Treaty of Amity and Commerce. Congress ratified the treaties on May 4. The patriots were no longer alone. Washington decreed a day of thanksgiving to be followed by an immense celebration.
The commander-in-chief led them all in a series of "remarkable toasts" and then mingled freely with the men in "mirth and rejoicing." Whatever hangovers they all may have felt the next morning were more than tempered by an outpouring of hope. The road ahead might be hard, but the worst was over. For the first time, victory seemed a realistic prospect.
