EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Yorktown in 1781, a pivotal moment in American history. The steel engraving, created by an American artist in the late 19th century, beautifully depicts the dramatic scene of the American siege on Yorktown, Virginia. In October 1781, this historic battle took place as part of the American Revolution. The image showcases an exterior view of the battlefield with naval ships visible in the background. The bombardment and fierce fighting between British and French forces can be seen vividly portrayed. The print highlights various elements that played significant roles during this battle: troops from both sides engaged in combat, tents scattered across the field where soldiers sought refuge and strategized their next moves. In addition to showcasing key moments from this crucial event, it also provides a glimpse into South East America during that time period. The Battle of Yorktown marked a turning point for America's fight for independence. It was here that General George Washington led his Continental Army to victory against British forces under General Cornwallis' command. This triumph ultimately led to negotiations for peace and paved the way for America's freedom. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print is a valuable piece of historical artwork that allows us to reflect upon our nation's past struggles and triumphs.
