EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Surrender of General Lee. Taken from a book published in 1896, this engraving by Alfred Rudolph Waud depicts the iconic event that marked the end of the American Civil War. General Robert E. Lee, a Confederate leader, is seen surrendering to Union general Ulysses S. Grant on April 9,1865. The image showcases an interior scene at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia where the historic armistice took place. The atmosphere is filled with mixed emotions as defeat and capitulation are palpable while also hinting at the prospect of peace and reconciliation for a divided nation. Engraved by Philip Meeder, this artwork beautifully portrays this pivotal moment in North American history. It symbolizes victory for one side and submission for another, capturing both male figures engaged in signing what would become a treaty of peace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we cannot help but reflect on its historical significance and appreciate how it represents America's journey towards unity after years of conflict. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and reminds us to strive for harmony even amidst adversity.
