writers and, some believe,
Washington himself helped
create.
"All through his adult life
Washington was to be closely
concerned with his
reputation," the eminent
Washington biographer,
Marcus Cunliffe, has written.
"In part this was simply an
aspect of his canniness--a
matter of taking care that
there was a written record of
what was done to him as well
as by him." Beyond this,
Cunliffe, the author of George
Washington, Man and
Monument, contends,
"Washington needed the
solace of public approval."
Today's scholars are
determined to discover a

monumental than we know

interesting in character.
Washington himself often
serves as their guide. It was,

Mount Vernon, as his guests
often noted, Washington
seemed the happiest--tending
to his gardening and land-
scaping and planning ad-
ditions to his home.
"He is a never ending
source of interest," says
historian Margaret Klapthor,
curator of a major
Smitbsonian exhibition at the
National Museum of
American History com-
memorating the 250th an-
niversary of WashingtonYs
birth. "We are still learning
things .about him. He is still
full of surprises for the
researcher and is endlessly
fascinating. He is multi-
face(cal."
To begin, there is his ap-
pearance. Today, the popular
image conveyed by late-life
portraits is of a rather stern,
short, white-haired gen-
tleman, a father figure. But in
1758, when he was 26,
Washington was described by
a fellow officer as "straight as
an Indian, measuring six feet
two inches, his frame padded
with well-developed muscles,
indicating great strength."
Why do we recall one look
and not another? "The image
and character of Washington
has taken various forms,"
according to Klapthor, with
each era favoring an ap-
pearance related to its own
values.
As for his demeanor, Abigail
Adams once remarked, "He is
polite with dignity, affable
without familiarity, distant
without haughtiness, grave
without austerity, modest,
wise and good."
Strong Sense of Duty
From an early age on, like
many of his 18th-century
peers, the future president
saw himself as a "figure upon
the stage" playing a role in the
"scenes of life," Klapthor and
her Smithsonian colleague,
By 1800 David Edwin's "Apotheosis of
Washington," the Washington portrait was
no longer just a likeness: The image of the
Founding Father had been transferred to a
spiritual realm.
Howard Morrison, point out in
their catalog related to the
exhibition.
Washington was ever alert
to styles and ap-
pearances-the props and
costumes, so to speak, needed
for his roles. These concerns,
coupled with his sense of duty
to self, family and com-
munity, continued throughout
his life--in the Army, on the
frontier, at his farm, during
the Revolution and as
president.
"He was always ambitious,
but not in the negative sense of
the word," says Christine
Meadows, curator at
Washington's home, Mount
Vernon. "He wanted to do the
right thing at the right time
and was keen--as he put it--on
acquiring things that were
'neat and fashionable.' "After
his marriage, for example, the
young squire ordered many
luxuries from England,
always of the latest
style--furniture, rugs, art,
china, glass, silver, fabrics
and even a parrot for the
children.
During his presidency,
Washington came to feel that
the way he personally
presented himself would help
the young nation become
legitimate in the view of other
nations, Klapthor points out.
"Washington realized that the
respect he attained as an
individual would overflow to
the nation as a whole."
But there would be a price to
pay for Washington's con-
earn--some historians call it
obsession--for duty, form and
the recognition he always

sought. It was exacted in the
19th century and is still paid
today. Washington "has
become entombed in his own
myth," Cunliffe concludes.
"Surely no one else has been
so thoroughly venerated and
frozen in legend."
The consequences caff be

exhibition, where hundreds of
objects in the museum's
