EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled EVRV2A-00233, captures a pivotal moment in history - the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781, effectively marking the end of the American Revolution. Hand-colored and based on a 19th-century illustration by A. B. Frost, this vintage artwork beautifully depicts the ceremony that took place during this historic event. In the foreground of the image, we see an American officer standing tall with his sword raised high, symbolizing victory and triumph. Behind him stands a drummer boy, proudly beating his drum to announce this significant moment to all who can hear. The military precision and discipline are evident as soldiers stand at attention on horseback while others gather around. The setting is Virginia's Yorktown battlefield where General George Washington negotiated a truce with Lord Cornwallis of the English army. This decisive battle turned out to be a turning point for North America as it led to ultimate independence for the United States from British rule. The artist has skillfully captured not only historical accuracy but also emotion and drama within this woodcut illustration. It serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's struggle for freedom and honors those who fought bravely during these turbulent times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, let us reflect on how far we have come since those revolutionary days and appreciate the sacrifices made by our ancestors in shaping our great nation.
