EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - General Robert E. Lee leaving the McLean House after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, Virginia on April 9,1865. The engraving, based on a contemporary drawing by A. R. Waud, beautifully depicts this pivotal event during the Civil War. In the image, General Lee is seen mounted on his horse as he departs from the McLean House, where he had just surrendered to Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant. The solemn expression on Lee's face reflects the weight of defeat and the end of an era for the Confederacy. The composition of this engraving emphasizes both Lee's stature as a military leader and his vulnerability in this moment of surrender. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from Lee's equestrian attire to his regal presence atop his horse. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how war can bring about profound change and reshape nations. It symbolizes not only General Lee's personal journey but also represents a turning point in American history that would ultimately lead to reconciliation and healing between North and South. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions, this powerful image invites viewers to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who fought bravely during one of America's most tumultuous periods.
