EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the surrender of British General Charles Cornwallis to American General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia on October 19,1781. The image showcases the end of the fighting in the American Revolution and symbolizes the triumph of the American forces over their English counterparts. In this scene, we see Cornwallis standing tall and resolute as he hands his sword to Washington, who stands with an air of authority and victory. The red coats of the British troops contrast starkly against the blue uniforms worn by Washington's Continental Army soldiers, emphasizing their opposing allegiances. The artist behind this remarkable drawing is Henry A. Ogden (1856-1936), whose attention to detail brings life to this historical event. Through his skilled hand, we can almost feel the tension and significance that surrounded this momentous occasion. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of America's struggle for independence and pays homage to those brave men who fought for freedom during one of history's most significant revolutions. It immortalizes not only Cornwallis' surrender but also represents a turning point in world history - marking America's emergence as a new nation founded upon principles championed by its revolutionary leaders such as George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. As we gaze upon this print, let us remember our founding fathers' unwavering determination and sacrifice that paved the way for our cherished liberties today.
