The able doctor, or, America swallowing the bitter draught

Cartoon shows Lord North, with the "Boston Port Bill" extending from a pocket, forcing tea (the Intolerable Acts) down the throat of a partially draped Native female figure representing "America" whose arms are restrained by Lord Mansfield, while Lord Sandwich, a notorious womanizer, restrains her feet and peeks up her skirt. Britannia, standing behind "America", turns away and shields her face with her left hand.Illus. from: London magazine, v. 43 (1774 May), p. 184.Another copy in: The Royal American magazine, ...
