1929 Resignation of Washington Annapolis Maryland

This vintage postcard features John Trumbull’s historic painting Resignation of General Washington, Annapolis, Dec. 23, 1783. The artwork captures the pivotal moment when General George Washington voluntarily resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army before the Continental Congress in the Maryland State House.

Washington stands with dignity before Congress, surrounded by military officers, delegates, and spectators. The scene symbolizes the peaceful transfer of power and Washington’s deep commitment to republican principles—a defining gesture in American history that affirmed civilian control over the military.

A timeless piece for collectors of patriotic, historical, or fine art postcards, commemorating one of the nation's most honorable acts of leadership.
