EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Augustine Moore's house, located just outside Yorktown, Virginia. It was within these very walls that the crucial negotiations for the British surrender took place on 18 October 1771. The contemporary sketch by John Trumbull beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment in American history. The image transports us back to a late afternoon in 1781 when tensions were high and the fate of a nation hung in the balance. The exterior of Moore's house exudes an air of elegance and grandeur, befitting its status as a manor nestled amidst the picturesque countryside of Virginia. Trumbull's meticulous drawing skillfully depicts every intricate detail of this significant building. Its significance lies not only in its architectural beauty but also as a symbol of resilience and determination during one of America's most defining periods – the Revolutionary War. As we gaze upon this remarkable sketch, our minds are filled with thoughts of brave men negotiating terms that would ultimately lead to victory for their cause. This structure witnessed firsthand the pivotal moments that shaped our nation's destiny. The Granger Collection has once again captured an extraordinary piece from history through their Carousel collection. This photograph serves as a reminder to cherish and honor those who fought tirelessly for freedom during America's struggle for independence.
