EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the American War of Independence, specifically the Siege of Yorktown. In October 1781, Generals de Rochambeau and Washington are depicted giving their last orders before launching a decisive attack against the British forces led by General Cornwallis. The image showcases the intense determination and strategic planning that characterized this historic event. The setting is none other than Versailles' Gallerie des Batailles, adding an air of grandeur to this significant occasion. Auguste Couder's masterful artistry brings to life the bravery and unity exhibited by these two great leaders as they prepare to confront their common enemy. Notably, it was during this battle that the English under Cornwallis were ultimately defeated, marking a turning point in favor of American independence. This victory solidified America's position as a formidable force against British rule. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for freedom during those tumultuous times. It serves as a testament to courage and resilience while honoring those who played instrumental roles in shaping history
