EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Surrender of the British army under Lord Cornwallis to the American and French forces at Yorktown in 1781. The image showcases an 18th-century illustration, beautifully brought to life with vibrant colors. In this historic scene, we witness a solemn ceremony unfolding on Virginia soil. A distinguished American officer, most likely General George Washington himself, stands tall on horseback as he accepts the surrender of the British army. Surrounding him are his fellow officers from both America and France, symbolizing their alliance during this crucial battle. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. It marks a turning point in the Revolutionary War that ultimately led to America's independence from Britain. The brave colonists fought alongside their French allies against formidable odds, culminating in this decisive victory at Yorktown. As we delve into this piece of art, we can almost hear echoes of cannon fire and feel the tension that must have filled the air during those fateful days in 1781. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's resilience and determination throughout its history. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and honor those who fought for freedom by preserving such remarkable illustrations like EVRV2A-00094 for generations to come.
