John James Barralet
John James Barralet is represented in this archive by an engraving and etching titled Apotheosis of Washington, a subject that places him within the commemorative print culture surrounding the first American president. The single sheet in the collection dates to 1800, and its combination of engraving with etching reflects the mixed intaglio methods common to such commemorative imagery. Beyond this one example, the archive holds no further works by the artist, so the entry offers a narrow but concrete point of access to his printed output.
