"[Lot of 2] Birds Eye View of Mt. Vernon, the Home of Washington",

Two states of a color lithograph by G. & F. Bill depicting George Washington's estate on the Potomac River. Each has an index locating 14 buildings and sites on the property, but interestingly neither identify the slave quarters adjacent to the brick Greenhouse at top. The second view has subtle differences in the image including a smaller depiction of Washington’s tomb and the summer house.
