EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Yorktown surrender ceremony of 1781. The hand-colored woodcut, based on a 19th-century illustration, transports us back to that pivotal day when General Benjamin Lincoln received Lord Cornwallis's sword from British General O'Hara. The image showcases the solemnity and gravity of this historic event. It depicts the truce between two formidable military forces, symbolizing an end to the Revolutionary War and marking a turning point for America's fight for independence. With Virginia's picturesque landscape as its backdrop, this scene unfolds with George Washington himself overseeing the proceedings. Every detail in this vintage artwork is meticulously crafted, capturing not only the uniforms and regalia of both armies but also conveying emotions through facial expressions and body language. The tension between these English and American figures is palpable as they navigate this delicate exchange. As we delve into our nation's past through this remarkable piece of art, it serves as a reminder of our ancestors' sacrifices and resilience during those turbulent times. This print invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then while honoring those who fought bravely for freedom against all odds
