'The marriage of George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis is beautifully portrayed by Junius B. Stearns.  The known facts regarding the marriage have been adhered to, and likenesses faithfully depicted.  The two sisters of the bride, her children, and General Washington's sister Betty, afterward Mrs. Fielding Lewis, are easily recognizable.  The delicate colors and rich fabrics worn at that time are brought out in delightful detail.  The bride and groom are shown in the attire of the period, the bride in satin without a veil, as was customary with widows marrying a second time.  The lithograph from which this copy was made was executed in Paris in 1854 by Regnier, Imp., Lemercier, and is considered a remarkable reproduction of the original painting.  "The marriage of George Washington and Mrs.. Custis," which took place on January 6, 1759.
