1781 Cornwallis Independence Moore Revolutionary Surrendered Virginia Yorktown
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historic Moore House in Yorktown, Virginia, where General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to the American forces under the command of General George Washington on October 19, 1781, marking a pivotal moment in the American War of Independence. The 18th-century Moore House, with its elegant facade and red-tiled roof, stands proudly amidst the picturesque landscape of Yorktown, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown effectively ended major military operations in the war and paved the way for peace negotiations. This significant event took place in the living room of the Moore House, where the terms of surrender were discussed and agreed upon. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the course of American history was being shaped within the walls of this unassuming yet historically significant building. The intricate details of the house, from the shuttered windows to the ornate chimney, add to the sense of authenticity and transport us back to the revolutionary era.
