Reminds me of Washington at the inauguration of John Adams. While the world's press assembled, unable to comprehend a peaceful transferal of power, Washington arrived amid cheers in an ornate carriage and a black velvet suit, surrounded by an entourage. After the inaugural he left alone on foot with his jacket over his arm.
Did you take any pictures of that?
No, but I was part of quite a few school trips and tours to Independence Hall where the tour guides are very descriptive. Jefferson wore a long blue coat and received the greatest applause while Adams, uncomfortable with all the pomp, wore a plain gray suit without shiny brass. Oh, and it was warm for March with temps in the mid 50s.
