Lot Description
[REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. REVERE, Paul (1735-1818). The Bloody Massacre. Engraving of the Boston Massacre.
Engraving, [1770?], image 8 3/4 x 8 1/16 in. (10 3/4 x 8 9/16 in. sheet), on laid paper, framed, (trimmed, creasing with small losses, professional laid on Japanese tissue, affixed at one point at upper margin to board).
Revere's powerful depiction of the Boston Massacre, published to engender public outrage against the British.
With Paul Revere's Boston imprint ("Engrav'd Printed & Sold by Paul Revere: Boston") to lower edge of print. No title or lower margin text is present, possibly removed when trimmed. Some doubling of impression, particularly to left areas, possibly indicating that it went uncirculated due to printing imperfections.
