EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Plan of the investment of York and Gloucester (Va. ) [Yorktown], c. February 1782" offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. Measuring 65x46 cm, this print showcases the strategic layout of Yorktown during the American Revolution. Commissioned by George Washington himself shortly after the Battle of Yorktown, this detailed map was drafted by Sebastian Bauman, an accomplished cartographer. It provides invaluable military intelligence, depicting positions of both land and naval forces along the York River. The image portrays a scene filled with significance and tension. The flags fluttering atop ships symbolize the united efforts of Virginia's navy and army as they siege Yorktown harbor. This visual representation transports us back to that critical period when America fought for its independence from British rule. As we explore every inch of this meticulously crafted litho, we can almost hear echoes from that era reverberating through time. The map not only serves as a historical artifact but also captures the spirit and determination that fueled America's fight for freedom. Now part of Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, this print is treasured for its contribution to our understanding of one of history's most significant battles – where victory at last seemed within reach for those who yearned to establish a new nation: The United States of America.
