The Surrender of Cornwallis - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a significant event in history, "The Surrender of Cornwallis" immortalized by the English School in the 19th century. The engraving is part of Emile de Bonnechose's renowned publication, "The History of France" published by Ward, Lock and Co in London. In this remarkable scene, we witness the culmination of the American Revolution as General Charles Cornwallis (1738-1805), a prominent British general and politician, surrenders to American forces at Yorktown in 1781. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation as soldiers brandish their bayonets while Cornwallis reluctantly hands over his sword. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from the intricate tricorn hats worn by both sides to the stoic expressions on their faces. This momentous occasion marked a turning point for America's fight for independence against British rule. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to that fateful day when freedom triumphed over oppression. It serves as a reminder of the courage and determination exhibited by those who fought for liberty. This print not only celebrates an important chapter in American history but also pays homage to the artistic prowess displayed by Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate its beauty and significance for generations to come.
