Title is way too long. Could someone shortern and move it? Thanks N0nsensical.system(err0r?)(.log) 14:16, 21 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • @NonsensicalSystem: I agree that the title is long, but I thought the title that the artist, N. C. Wyeth, actually used for the art work was most appropriate. I could not find any shorter title in common use. Note, the lithographs by Currier and Ives also have rather long titles for this event. For example, the chromolithograph by Hipp is entitled Washington's Reception by the Ladies, on Passing the Bridge at Trenton, N.J. April 1789, on His Way to New York to be Inaugurated First President of the United States, even longer than Wyeth's. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 16:00, 21 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
