Few events in the Revolution were marked as warmly as the British departure from New York City on November 25, 1783, which this chromolithograph commemorates under the title "Evacuation Day." Its subject is Washington's entry into the city that afternoon, after British forces had left the harbor and the last redcoats had been seen off. The print was made around 1879, nearly a century later, when interest in the Revolution's anniversaries ran high, so it shows the event as later generations remembered it. Look at the crowds and the procession, which reflect how the day became a symbol of American independence.
