    This is an 18th-century engraving depicting the execution by hanging of Major John André, Adjutant General to the British Army, on October 2, 1780. The scene shows André suspended from a gallows surrounded by soldiers, with a ladder leaning against the structure. The image is framed with ornate neoclassical decorative borders typical of period illustration.

    The Unfortunate Death of Major Andre (William Hamilton, 1783). Like British Maj. John André, Thomas Shanks was “examined” by a Board of General Officers and sentenced to death.
