The Fruits of Arbitrary Power or the BLOODY MASSACRE

The Boston Massacre was politically volatile news not only in the American colonies but also in England with the publication of a broadside by W. Bingley of London in May of 1770. The broadside featured a version of Pelham's and Revere's engraving as the frontispiece. Who engraved the plate used for this is lost to history, but the engraving clearly borrows from both Pelham's print and Revere's.
