Facsimile Sketch of Major Andre Revealed in Yale Collection
A New York State Grand Lodge purchase brings to light a facsimile sketch drawn by Major John Andre the day before his execution in 1780. The drawing, created without a mirror, shows Andre at a table and was given to guard Tomlinson, later donated to Yale Library via Timothy Dwight. The sketch’s provenance traces to a 1882 Yale transfer and a 1800 reproduction by F O Beach. Major Andre briefly hid in the Townsend house prior to capture.
