1773 Captain Colony Cruelty December Declaration Document Feather Handbill Patriotic Philadelphia Protester Sons Of Liberty Tarring And Feathering Warning Polly
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Broadside proclamation by the Sons of Liberty at Philadelphia in 1773. The image showcases a powerful declaration against the Tea Tax, issued just nine days before the infamous Boston Tea Party. The Sons of Liberty, known for their patriotic fervor and resistance to British rule, warned the captain of the tea ship Polly about dire consequences if he dared to unload his cargo. The photograph transports us back to that December day in 1773 when tensions were running high in the colonies. It serves as a reminder of both courage and cruelty exhibited during this time. The handbill's text is visible, emphasizing its importance as an official document that rallied protesters against unjust taxation. The visual elements within this image are striking: from the stern expressions on faces to symbolic feathers and tar depicted alongside references to tea and taxes. These symbols represent acts of protest such as tarring and feathering - methods used by colonists to publicly shame those who supported British policies. In essence, this print encapsulates not only an important historical event but also embodies the spirit of defiance that fueled America's fight for independence. It stands as a testament to our nation's unwavering dedication towards freedom and justice.
