EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colored engraving, created by Arthur Burdett Frost, immortalizes a pivotal event in history - the British surrender at Yorktown on 19 October 1781. The print vividly captures the essence of this significant moment during the American Revolution. In this scene, we witness General Charles Cornwallis and his red-coated troops reluctantly handing over their weapons to General George Washington and his Continental Army. The image showcases the determination and resilience of the American rebels as they fought for their independence against English rule. The battle at Yorktown marked a turning point in the war, with Lord Cornwallis realizing that he was outnumbered and outmaneuvered by Washington's forces. This decisive victory not only secured America's path towards freedom but also paved the way for its future as an independent nation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless men who fought bravely on both sides. It serves as a testament to those who believed in liberty and justice for all. This historic print is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it encapsulates a defining chapter in our nation's founding story. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and inspire us to uphold the values set forth by our founding fathers.
