This hand-colored engraving mocks the supporters of the Stamp Act. Published on the same day that the act was repealed, the print became so popular that the publisher could not keep pace with the orders he received, and it became one of the period’s most copied satirical prints. Acquired with support from the Barksdale-Dabney-Henry Fund. British Prints Collection, Graphic Arts Collection.
