Description: Szyk created the 38 original watercolor paintings of the George Washington and His Times portfolio between 1930 and 1931. The works were exhibited at the 1931 French Exposition in Paris. In 1935, the President of Poland, Ignacy Moscicki, purchased the original miniatures from Szyk for 15,000 Polish sloty (US$2,848.50) and presented them to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The paintings hung in The White House until 1941. They reside today in the FDR Library in Hyde Park, New York.
