Few moments of the Revolution were celebrated as widely as the British departure from New York City on November 25, 1783, which Americans came to call Evacuation Day. This chromolithograph, issued about 1879 by the Philadelphia firm E.P. & L. Restein, shows Washington's triumphal entry into the city once the last British troops had sailed. The British had held New York for most of the war, so the return of American forces ended roughly seven years of occupation. Color prints like this were popular in the late nineteenth century, when they offered patriotic history to a broad public a century after the war.
