The able doctor, or American swallowing the bitter draught
Summary
The fair Indian damsel America held down by Lord Mansfield while Lord North forces tea down her throat. Boston is cannonaded in the background. Published the day after the Boston Port Bill closed Boston's port in retaliation for the Boston Tea Party. This indicated just how fast engravings as news could be turned out for an eager public.
