The Tea-Tax Tempest, or the Anglo-American Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating English cartoon by W. Humphreys that transports viewers back to the historic events of the Boston Tea Party in 1773. This print, created in 1783 as a reproduction of an original from 1778, captures the essence of this pivotal moment in American history. The image depicts a chaotic scene filled with political tension and explosive action. A group of American revolutionaries, including soldiers and Native Americans, are shown defiantly tossing crates of tea into the harbor while an Englishman looks on helplessly. The woman standing beside him represents America herself, symbolizing her involvement and support for independence. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements to convey deeper meanings within the artwork. Father Time can be seen holding an hourglass, signifying that change is inevitable and time is running out for British control over America. Additionally, a magic lantern projection illuminates scenes from battles fought during the American Revolution on a nearby wall. This thought-provoking print serves as both a historical record and a powerful political statement about colonial resistance against British taxation policies. It reminds us of the bravery and determination exhibited by those who fought for liberty during this tumultuous period. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our nation's past struggles for freedom while appreciating its artistic value.
