Excerpt from The History of a Rare Washington Print: A Paper Read Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, May 6, 1889 In the winter of 1778-79, General Washington visited Philadelphia, in order to confer with Congress on the operations of the next campaign, a comprehensive plan proposed by that body for the invasion of Canada, in co-operation with an army from France, being the principal subject to be considered. To this the commander-in-chief was strongly opposed, and the result of the conference was the abandonment of the design. During his stay, which was brief (December 22 to February 2), the Supreme Executive Council of the State, in furtherance of a desire to have a portrait of him for the Council chamber, at a meeting held on the evening of January 18, 1779, passed the following resolution: "Whereas: The wisest, freest and bravest nations in the most virtuous times, have endeavored to perpetuate the memory of those who have rendered their Country distinguished services, by preserving their resemblances in Statues and Paintings: This Council, deeply sensible how much the liberty, safety and happiness of America in general and Pennsylvania in particular, is owing to His Excellency General Washington, and the brave men under his command, do resolve.
