EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of General George Washington leading the first firing of the cannon at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. The engraving, created by American School in the 19th century, showcases this pivotal event during the Revolutionary War.

This image transports us back to that battlefield in Virginia where brave soldiers engaged in combat for their freedom.
