Surrender at Yorktown -With French AssistanceAccording to the Library of Congress: This etching is a fanciful French representation of the surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, depicted in the upper center as a walled medieval town. The French army, dressed in blue, is in the foreground and the American army, in red, is in the background between which the British army is seen leaving the field. The French fleet, whose command of the seas was decisive, is depicted as being anchored in the York River.
