The British Surrender at Yorktown - A Defining Moment in the American Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Nathaniel Currier after John Trumbull's original painting, captures the historic moment of the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia on 19 October 1781. The image depicts a scene filled with tension and significance as General Charles Cornwallis reluctantly hands over his sword to General George Washington, marking a turning point in the Revolutionary War. The composition showcases an array of key figures from both sides of the conflict. Standing tall and resolute amidst his troops, Washington is portrayed as a symbol of American resilience and determination. Surrounding him are Benjamin Lincoln, James Ives, and other founding fathers who played crucial roles in securing America's independence. On the opposing side stand Cornwallis and his red-coated soldiers - their defeat evident in their downcast expressions. The white flag of surrender flutters above them against a cloudy sky, signifying an end to British dominance in this pivotal battle. Nathaniel Currier's masterful lithography brings depth and detail to this historical event. From the formation of troops to every horseman's rein held tightly by Merritt Rider; no aspect has been overlooked. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how perseverance can lead to triumph against all odds. It immortalizes one of history's most significant moments - when America proved its mettle and set itself on course towards becoming an independent nation.
