"Washington's Entry into New York" (1783) is a chromolithograph by the American printmaking firm Currier and Ives. The artwork depicts General George Washington riding a white horse into New York City on November 25, 1783, after the British evacuated the city during the American Revolutionary War. This iconic print was created to commemorate this pivotal event in American history and captures the celebratory mood of the day, featuring civilians waving flags and offering laurels to the triumphant General.
