EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the historic moment of George Washington at the siege of Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. The image depicts General Washington, dressed in his military uniform, leading his soldiers into battle against the British forces during the American Revolutionary War. The significance of this engagement cannot be overstated as it marked a turning point in the conflict. The defeat of the British at Yorktown proved to be decisive and ultimately led to Britain recognizing the independence of the United States two years later through the signing of the Treaty of Paris. This victory solidified America's position as a new nation and paved the way for its future growth and development. The print itself is a remarkable piece from Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, dating back to around 1880. Through careful colorization, this engraving has been brought to life, allowing us to visualize this crucial moment in American history with greater clarity. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of George Washington's leadership but also of all those who fought alongside him for freedom and independence. It serves as a powerful testament to their bravery and determination that shaped our nation's destiny.
