EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic treasure - the "Map of Williamsburg, Virginia, and the surrounding country" drawn in 1781 by Louis Alexandre Berthier. As an aide to General Rochambeau during the American Revolutionary War, Berthier meticulously crafted this detailed plan of Williamsburg. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into colonial America's past, depicting the late town of Williamsburg as it stood over two centuries ago. Its intricate lines and markings reveal key landmarks and streets that once bustled with activity. This snapshot from history allows us to envision what life was like during this pivotal time in our nation's development. Berthier's map holds particular significance due to its connection with Yorktown, where one of the most decisive battles of the American Revolution took place. It serves as a reminder of how French forces played a crucial role in supporting their American allies against British rule. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, New York / The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It is through such artifacts that we can better understand our roots and honor those who fought for our freedom.
