EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Bostonians Paying Excise-Man Tarring & Feathering" captures a pivotal moment in American history, specifically the pre-American Revolution era. Created by Philip Dawe, a British artist known for his satirical works, this mezzotint and etching showcases the events that unfolded on October 31,1774. In this scene, we witness the infamous act of tarring and feathering being carried out against John Malcolm, a British customs agent stationed in Massachusetts. The colonists' anger towards him stems from their resentment over taxes levied by Parliament. This event was fueled by the Boston Tea Party that occurred on December 16,1773 when colonists defiantly dumped imported tea into Boston Harbor to protest these taxes. The image portrays an atmosphere of rebellion as Malcolm is forcibly tarred and feathered while surrounded by outraged Bostonians. The artwork serves as both a historical record and a powerful symbol of resistance against oppressive rule. Published in London during turbulent times, this print reflects the tension between Britain and its American colonies. It stands as a reminder of the lengths people were willing to go to fight for their rights and freedom. This print from Liszt Collection offers us an intriguing glimpse into one of America's defining moments before it gained independence - an event that shaped our nation's history forever.
