Facsimile of the proclamation about the tea ship, 1773 (c1880)
Facsimile of the proclamation about the tea ship, 1773 (c1880). In May 1773 the British government passed the Tea Act. Designed to protect the East India Company, it granted the company a monopoly over the tea trade in North America. The measure was widely unpopular in the American colonies, with anger against the act culminating in the Boston Tea Party on 16th December 1773. A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume II, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of the proclamation about the tea ship from 1773. The image takes us back to a significant moment in American history, when tensions between Britain and its colonies were reaching a boiling point. In an attempt to protect the East India Company's monopoly over the tea trade in North America, the British government passed the Tea Act, which proved highly unpopular among colonists. The photograph captures the essence of this conflict, with its depiction of colonial rebellion against British rule. It symbolizes resistance and defiance as it transports us to that fateful night on December 16th, 1773 – known as the Boston Tea Party. This act of protest saw patriots dressed as Native Americans board three ships carrying taxed tea and dump their cargo into Boston Harbor. Through this powerful image, we witness not only a historical event but also a turning point in American history. The print serves as a reminder of how these acts of resistance eventually led to war and ultimately paved the way for American independence. As we delve into this piece from Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, we are invited to reflect on themes such as colonialism, revolution, protectionism, and satire. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate both the artistry involved in capturing historical moments and their enduring significance in shaping our world today.
