  Text:
George Washington. / Général en Chef, der vereinigten / Americanishen Colonien. / J. G. Schmidt.  Sculpsit. Berlin.
 

Version I:  As described.
Version II:  As described, but before all lettering.

Note:  Based upon its similarity to Boglewood 2814, the Washington figure here may also be based upon the "Alexander Campbell" source.
      The identification of "J. G. Schmidt" as John Georg Schmidt is from Hart 764.  Note, however, that Johann Gottfried Schmidt (1764-1803), another engraver with the initials "J. G.", was working near Berlin in the same period.
