Issued for the Bicentennial of the United States, this souvenir sheet is one of four that reproduce famous paintings of the Revolutionary War. John Trumbull's "Surrender of Lord Cornwallis" is a grand historical painting that captures the gravity and significance of the end of the war. The stamp sheet is designed so that five individual 13-cent stamps can be removed, each featuring a different detail from the painting. This innovative design allowed for a more expansive and artistic commemoration of this pivotal moment in American history.
