Summary

American soldiers at the siege of Yorktown, by Jean-Baptiste-Antoine DeVerger, watercolor, 1781. The African American soldier is supposedly from the first Rhode Island Regiment. Original watercolor now at the Anne S.K. Brown Military Collection, Brown University Library

Is this image reversed from the original? The scabbard seems to be on the correct (left) side here, but see the full colour image at this site. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part2/2h41b.html

The PBS image may be reversed. That, or everyone was left-handed back then.
