EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "To the Commissioners Appointed by the East-India Company, for the Sale of Tea, in America" transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The lithograph, created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century American School, measures 37x22 cm and is part of the esteemed Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The image itself serves as a powerful protest against Britain's attempt to raise revenue through tea consignment in America. It draws parallels between these commissioners and the despised tax collectors associated with the Stamp Act just a few years earlier. The pseudonym "Scaevola" adds an air of mystery and defiance to this historical document. With its bold imagery and thought-provoking message, this poster became an emblematic representation of colonial resistance during revolutionary times. Its significance cannot be overstated, as it symbolizes not only the Boston Tea Party but also broader sentiments surrounding taxation without representation. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how ordinary individuals played extraordinary roles in shaping our nation's destiny. This piece stands as a testament to their courage and determination during one of America's most transformative periods – the War of Independence. In preserving this artifact from our past, we honor those who fought for freedom and celebrate their enduring legacy within the United States of America.
