- Abstract
-
A woman facing left under an enormous coiffure. Within her hair several scenes illustrate the progress of the American war for independence. At the top, an American fort exchanges fire with British cannon. Flags over the fort bear images of a crossbow and a crocodile, while above the British fly images of a donkey and a fool's cap and bells. Fields of tents are shown further down, together with files of soldiers and a covered waggon. At the very bottom of the hair, soldiers in boats row towards 2 sailing ships, an allusion to Howe's March 1776 evacuation of Boston
