EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print titled "Tarring & Feathering, 1774. A New Method of Macarony Making, as Practiced at Boston" captures a significant moment in American history. Depicting the unpopular Commissioner of Customs at Boston, John Malcom, being subjected to a cruel and humiliating punishment by an angry mob, this satirical mezzotint serves as a powerful political commentary on the tensions between the American colonists and their English oppressors. The image showcases the brutality that was often employed during acts of protest against British rule in colonial America. The scene portrays Malcom being tarred and feathered - a form of public humiliation where hot tar is poured over someone followed by feathers sticking to it. This act aimed to shame individuals associated with British authority and deter others from supporting them. The print highlights not only the physical cruelty inflicted upon Malcom but also reflects the growing resistance among colonists towards oppressive policies such as taxation without representation. It symbolizes the spirit of defiance that ultimately culminated in events like the Boston Tea Party. As we observe this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since those turbulent times. It stands as a testament to the courage and determination displayed by early Americans who fought for their rights and paved the way for independence.
