Description
Oversized, hand-colored lithograph of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia on April 9, 1865. This lithograph was produced by prominent New York firm Currier & Ives soon after the surrender. While often reprinted in subsequent years, this is the first edition.
In the lithograph Gen. Grant extends his hand to Gen. Lee, who gazes away while signing the terms. Some wonderful details include the artwork on the wall of the parlor, as well as the hand-painted wallpaper pattern. The lithograph is in good overall condition, with some wear as shown.. It does not appear to have ever been folded, making it quite suitable for appropriate framing.
An identical example can be found in the Library of Congress.
