The Surrender at Yorktown - A Historic Moment of Triumph and Defeat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The Surrender at Yorktown" immortalizes the pivotal moment in American history when General Cornwallis and his British Army conceded defeat to the resolute forces of George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. Created by artist Henry Alexander Ogden, this print captures the essence of that fateful day in 1781. In this scene, we witness the culmination of a long and arduous siege as British soldiers lay down their arms before their triumphant American counterparts. The composition exudes tension and emotion, with commanders from both sides observing the surrender with stoic expressions. The meticulous attention to detail transports us back to that significant turning point in our nation's struggle for independence. Ogden's artwork was commissioned for Edwards Ellis' "History of the United States" in 1899, showcasing his mastery in capturing historical events through visual storytelling. This print serves as a testament to America's resilience and determination against all odds. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it reminds us not only of our country's hard-fought victory but also of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers on both sides. It stands as a symbol of unity amidst conflict and serves as a reminder that even in times of war, there is room for reconciliation and growth. This Fine Art Finder print allows us to bring home a piece of history – an enduring reminder that freedom is worth fighting for.
