The tea-tax-tempest, or the Anglo-American revolution by Carl Guttenberg, 1743-1790, engraver. Published: [Germany], 1778. A satire expressing a Continental European view of the American Revolution, showing Father Time using a magic lantern to project the image of a teapot exploding among frightened British troops as American troops advance through the smoke. In the midst of the smoke is a 'Gallic cock' seated on a bellows fanning the flames beneath the teapot. Figures representing world opinion look on: an Indian for America, a black woman representing Africa, a woman holding a lantern symbolizing Asia, and a woman bearing a shield for Europe.
