The full name of this print is "The Room in the McLean House, at Appomattox Court House, in which General Lee Surrendered to General Grant". It was created by Major & Knapp Lithography Company and was commissioned as a fundraising device by Wilmer McLean. The print contains portraits of the personalities meticulously copied from period photographs. The portrayal of Lee and two aides is modeled after a photograph for which the general had reluctantly posed on the back porch of his Richmond house a week after the surrender.
