EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in American history, depicting the surrender of Lieutenant-General Charles Cornwallis to Major General Benjamin Lincoln during the American Revolutionary War. Taken by Albert Bobbett in 1877, this engraving showcases the solemn exchange between General Charles O Hara representing the British forces and General Lincoln. In this powerful image, we witness O Hara presenting Cornwallis' sword as a symbol of defeat to Lincoln, signifying the end of British control over Yorktown in Virginia on October 19th, 1781. The tension is palpable as these two military leaders stand face-to-face amidst a backdrop of historical significance. This photograph comes from "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" by Benson J. Lossing, offering readers an opportunity to delve into America's past from its discovery until modern times. The artist Felix Octavius Carr Darley skillfully engraved this scene with intricate detail and emotion. As we gaze upon this print, it serves as a reminder of our nation's struggle for independence and the sacrifices made by both sides during that tumultuous period. It stands as a testament to courage and resilience while honoring those who fought for freedom.
