Title: The tea-tax-tempest, or Old Time with his magick-lanthern
Date Created/Published: [London] : Pubd. by W. Humphreys N 227 Strand, 1783 March 12.
Summary: Cartoon shows America, seated on the left, and a sombre Britannia treated to a glass lantern presentation on the American Revolution. Father Time, leaning against a globe, provides a commentary on the momentous events projected by the lantern: an exploding teapot, the Boston Tea Party, over a fire that is fueled by paper taxed by the Stamp Act and fanned by the Gallic cock sitting on a bellows; as American troops advance on the right, British troops flee on the left.
Notes:
Based on print attributed to Carl Guttenberg.
Similar impressions with and without the 'Gallic cock' and bellows are filed in PC 1 - 5490 (B size) and PGA - Guttenberg Tea-tax-tempest ... (B size).
