This antique print was done by Nathaniel Currier before the founding of Currier & Ives. It is arguably the EARLIEST IMAGE of the National Washington Monument. A treasure piece of historical significance! Even the water stains look marvelous on the picture. Aren’t they like the clouds in the background sky? The caption reads: NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT – Height of Obelisk, 500 feet – Height of Pentheon, 100 feet ---Lith. & pub. by N. CURRIER, 152 Nassau Street, N.Y.
