Few moments of the Revolution were reproduced as often as the surrender of British General John Burgoyne at Saratoga, New York, on October 17, 1777. This lithograph by Otto Knirsch is based on a painting by John Trumbull, whose larger canvas of the same scene hangs in the United States Capitol. N. Currier of New York issued the print around 1852, when Revolutionary subjects drew strong interest from American buyers. The American victory persuaded France to enter the war as an ally, which makes this surrender one of the conflict's most consequential turning points.
