This German etching, titled *Ende der Feindseeligkeiten* ("End of Hostilities"), shows the British yielding New York to the Americans in 1783. Daniel Chodowiecki, a Prussian artist working in Berlin, both designed and engraved the plate, and its imprint dates it to 1784, roughly a year after the British evacuated the city in November 1783 under the terms of the peace settlement. The subjects listed in the record point to the departing troops and the Loyalist refugees who left with them, a reminder that the end of the war also meant the uprooting of many who had sided with the Crown. Its publication in Germany shows how closely European audiences followed the American Revolution.
