EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic poster captures the essence of a significant moment in American history - the Centennial of the Evacuation of New York by the British on November 25th, 1783. Created in 1883 by an anonymous American artist, this colourful lithograph showcases a pivotal event that marked the end of British rule and celebrated America's victory in the Revolutionary War. The poster depicts a bustling harbor scene with warships sailing away, symbolizing Britain's retreat from New York City. The removal of the Union Jack flag is prominently displayed, replaced by the iconic Stars and Stripes flag that represents freedom and independence. A majestic eagle soars above, embodying national pride and triumph. Intricate details fill every corner of this artwork: soldiers on horseback ride proudly alongside Uncle Sam, while a lion tamer entertains spectators nearby. The mountainous landscape serves as a backdrop to this joyous celebration, reminding viewers of America's vast beauty. This print not only commemorates an important historical milestone but also reflects elements unique to American culture at that time. It evokes patriotism through symbols like dollar bills and shields while capturing moments of sport and leisure with horse riding scenes. Preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, this image continues to inspire awe for its artistic brilliance and portrayal of America's journey towards freedom.
