EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "General Lincoln receiving Cornwalliss Sword from General O Hara" captures a pivotal moment in the history of the American Revolution. Created by Felix Octavius Carr Darley and part of a private collection, this print depicts an event that took place during the surrender at Yorktown. In this scene, General Benjamin Lincoln is shown graciously accepting the sword of surrender from General Charles O'Hara on behalf of British General Lord Cornwallis. The illustration was originally featured in an unidentified edition of Benson J Lossing's book "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers". The image serves as a powerful reminder of the triumphs and sacrifices made by both sides during this significant conflict. It symbolizes not only the end of hostilities but also represents a turning point in American history, marking one step closer to independence. Through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, Darley has captured the tension and significance surrounding this historical moment. The expressions on each general's face reveal their respective emotions – Lincoln displaying humility and respect while O'Hara conveys defeat yet maintains his dignity. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back to that fateful day when two nations stood at odds but ultimately found common ground through diplomacy and compromise. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination that shaped America into what it is today - a land built upon freedom and unity.
