Summary

Deutsch: Die Söhne der Freiheit, die einen Steuereintreiber unter dem Freiheitsbaum teeren und federn.
English: A depiction of the tarring and feathering of Commissioner of Customs John Malcolm, a Loyalist, by five Patriots on 5 January 1774 under the Liberty Tree in Boston, Massachusetts. Tea is also being poured into Malcolm's mouth. The print shows the Boston Tea Party occurring in the background, though that incident had in fact taken place four weeks earlier.
