Product Details:

Washington and Rochambeau in the Trenches at Yorktown by Howard Pyle depicts a pivotal moment during the Siege of Yorktown (September 28 – October 19, 1781), the decisive battle of the American Revolutionary War. General George Washington & General Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau were the two key leaders of the Franco-American alliance. The Americans and French constructed siege lines and bombarded British positions, eventually forcing General Cornwallis to surrender on October 19, 1781, effectively securing American independence. The French alliance played a crucial role, with French troops, artillery, and naval forces under Admiral de Grasse cutting off British reinforcements.
