General George Washington
moved against Yorktown to end this war with a total of around 14,000 soldiers, while a fleet of 36 French warships offshore prevented British reinforcement or evacuation. Trapped and overpowered, Cornwallis was forced to surrender his entire army on October 19. Claiming illness, the British general sent his deputy, Charles O’Hara, to surrender; after O’Hara approached Rochambeau to surrender his sword (the Frenchman deferred to Washington), Washington gave the nod to his own deputy, Benjamin Lincoln, who accepted it.
1788 — April 28
Edmund Randolph, Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, grants a charter to Alexandria Lodge as the twenty-second lodge in Virginia. The charter names George Washington as the lodge’s Worshipful Master. This charter is still in use by Alexandria-Washington Lodge № 2
This 10" x 5 1/4" x 2 1/4" iron image of Washington as a General has been hand crafted from top to bottom with the finest inscriptions of the period.
There are numerous two-dimensional integrated pictorial scenes of his service during the war with some of the finest detailing to be found. As an obvious gift for his accomplishments, dozens of gold imprints with captions and pictorial portraits of nobility not excluding his lodge affiliations and international acclaim are seen.
It had to have been made as a presentation gift of gratitude for services rendered. This 2 piece work of art is secured by a nut fashioned to hold steady a threaded shaft from the figure mounted to the base.
There are many inscriptions as a united front to win this conflict along with Masonic symbols sparkling with gold covering the entire front of this historical figurine. For the art connoisseur. the last image displays a fine example of the craftsmanship by the artist'.
Acquired in Florida, it only goes to prove the treasures of this land are well scattered but with a keen eye and a sense of direction, the hidden secrets of history reveal themselves with a stroke of serendipity.
Would prefer personal pick-up over shipping.
