EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Nathaniel Currier in 1846, immortalizes a pivotal moment in American history - the surrender of British General Charles Cornwallis to General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia. The image depicts the end of fierce fighting during the American Revolution and signifies a significant victory for the Continental Army. In this powerful scene, Cornwallis is shown handing over his sword to Washington as a symbol of surrender. The red coats of the English troops stand in stark contrast to the blue uniforms of their American counterparts, highlighting the triumph of rebellion against British rule. The composition exudes an air of determination and resilience as it captures this historic event. It serves as a reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, unity and perseverance can lead to freedom and independence. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1781 when Lord Cornwallis conceded defeat. This print not only pays homage to our founding fathers but also honors all those who fought valiantly for liberty and justice. Nathaniel Currier's artwork stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that shaped America's identity. It reminds us how far we have come since those tumultuous times while inspiring us never to forget our roots or take our hard-fought freedoms for granted.
