Fuchs II, Page 84, #12, for a Liverpool jug with an American named ship on one side and The Apotheosis on the other. The Apotheosis print was engraved by John James Barralet in 1800 and published by Simon Chaudron and Barralet in Philadelphia. In early February 1802, J.J. Barralet advertised his print "Apotheosis of Washington finished for delivery.
"The subject depicts Gen Washington raised from the Tomb by the Poetical and Historical Genius, assisted by Immortality-at his feet America weeping over his armor, on the opposite side an Indian crouched in surly sorrow, in the ground the Mental Virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity."
