Summary
| Description |
English:
Rough translation: "Surrender of the British army of Lord Cornwallis to the combined armies of the United States of America and France commanded by Generals George Washington and Rochambeau at Yorktown and Gloucester, October 19, 1781. F: United States Army. G: Army Navy of France under the command of Count De Grasse. H: Chesapeake Bay. I: River of York.
Hand-colored copper-engraving (crude in style); imaginary perspective view of Yorktown surrender, with many massed troops and mounted officers on plain at left, warships close to shore at right; uniform coloring incorrect. This is one of the few documents featuring the French naval blockade and land victory.
Français :
Représentation de la capitulation de Yorktown, le 19 octobre 1781. Gravure colorée d'époque, publiée peu après la victoire franco-américaine. Il s'agit de l'un des rares documents mettant en scène le blocus naval français et la victoire terrestre.
