[graphic]</dc:title><dc:date>[3 September 1778]</dc:date><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:description>In a landscape with a town in the background, a zebra is shown facing left with the names of the 13 colonies engraved on its stripes. Behind the animal, George Grenville is about to put on its back a saddle labelled "Stamp Act." To the left, Lord North pulls at the reins, proclaiming "My name is Boreas the First; I hold the reins and will never quit them till the beast is subdued." On the right two men hold the tail, one a representative of France, the other in English military dress (probably depicting Washington) saying "My name is Fabius the Second, &amp; the rudder is my hand." Behind North are the three commissioners, probably Johnstone, Carlisle, and Eden, lamenting that "Our offers are rejected, no terms but independence" etc</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed within plate mark.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
