Description

Up for auction are two antique engravings inspired by the famous historical paintings of John Trumbull, celebrated for their dramatic depictions of pivotal moments in the American Revolution. The top image, The Declaration of Independence (1818), portrays the committee presenting the draft to Congress, while the bottom image, The Surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga (1821), captures the British surrender in 1777. Similar commemorative prints were widely produced in the 19th century by engravers such as W. Greatbach and Waterman L. Ormsby, prized for their fine linework and patriotic subject matter. These pieces remain highly collectible for their artistry, historical resonance, and connection to early American printmaking. As is common with antique paper media, the edges show age‑appropriate wear, some corner loss along with light water staining, but the images remain striking and display beautifully.

Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Feel free to reach out with any questions - and as always, happy bidding!
