Political engraving concerning the American resistance to the tea tax and the East India Company monopoly, presumably engraved shortly after the Boston Tea Party, and alluding to the "Philadelphia Tea Party."

On the North American side Tories do the same, dressed in European garb. American patriots are represented as Native Americans who are aiming their arrows across the Atlantic Ocean, straight at Lord Frederick North's heart.; Key at the bottom of the print describes eighteen allegorical scenes within the print.; Attributed to Henry Dawkins in the catalog of the American Antiquarian Society.
