      It can't be a photo. maybe a painting, print or photo of a painting made later.

      Looks like a lithograph. The frame looks to be very late 19th/ early 20th century, which is also the era of the print.

      Remember, Washington has been a popular figure in art since his lifetime and continues today.

      There should be some publisher information along the bottom edge, which will allow you to ID.

      The condition looks very rough, which will detract considerably from value.

      Scott, do you think it is a lithograph of a painting or print?
    6. scottvez scottvez, 11 years ago
      Not sure if it is taken from an earlier work. An image search of "George and martha washington lithograph" will probably reveal.

      Did you check under the framing for publishers info?
