This is an 1848 Augustus Köllner view of George Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon, Virginia. Depicting the New Tomb at Mount Version, the tomb's brick façade dominates the view, and the inscription above the archway is legible and reads 'Within this Enclosure Rest the remains of Genl. George Washington.' Washington's marble casket is seen through the steel gate barring entry to the tomb. A white obelisk (described as a marble shaft by Mount Vernon) appears to the right and was erected in memory of Bushrod Washington, a proprietor of Mount Vernon. Two men and one woman are illustrated lounging under a tree and are seen conversing with another man in the foreground. A couple strolling through the ground are seen further back, and the Potomac River can just be seen along the right side. (more details)
