Image #1


"Discovery of the New World" by John Vanderlyn 1847
depicts the landing of Columbus on Watlings Island October 12, 1492
(THe golden color of the flags probably represented artistic reflection from the setting sun)

Image #2


"Surrender of Lord Cornwallis" by John Trumbull 1817
depicts the surrender of British forces at Yorktown on October 19, 1781
(John Trumbull had the French Flag correct, because the Royal French Navy's ensign between 1638-1790
was a plain white flag; so maybe his version of the American flag, with the square star pattern, was also correct!)

Image #3


"Surrender of General Burgoyne" by John Trumbull 1822
depicts the surrender of British forces at Saratoga on October 17, 1777

Image #4


"Battle of Bunker Hill" by John Trumbull
depicts the British forces attacking the defenders at Bunker Hill as General Warren lies dying
(Notice the gold flag behind the Continental Flag, wonder what flag that was?)
