Date Created/Published: [London : 1774 May 1]
Summary: Cartoon shows Lord North, with the 'Boston Port Bill' extending from a pocket, forcing tea (the Intolerable Acts) down the throat of a partially draped Native female figure representing 'America' whose arms are restrained by Lord Mansfield, while Lord Sandwich, a notorious womanizer, restrains her feet and peeks up her skirt.
