EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving "Meeting of Washington and Rochambeau" captures a historic moment in American history. Published in 1896, this print showcases the encounter between two influential figures during the American Revolutionary War. In the foreground, we see George Washington, the revered leader of the American forces. His dignified presence exudes strength and determination as he stands alongside Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force. Together, they formed a crucial alliance that played a pivotal role in securing victory for America. The artist Alfred Rudolph Waud skillfully depicts this meeting with intricate details and precision. The composition draws our attention to their faces, capturing both men deep in conversation as they strategize their next move against British forces. Edith Cooper's masterful engraving technique adds depth and texture to Waud's original artwork, enhancing its visual impact.

This historical image serves as a reminder of how alliances can shape destinies and alter the course of nations. It symbolizes unity and cooperation between allies fighting for freedom against formidable odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back to an era when these brave soldiers fought side by side on North American soil – forever etching their names into history books as heroes who paved the way for independence.
