The parricide. A sketch of modern patriotism
[1776]
An Indian maiden, America, directed by Wilkes, stabs a half-clothed Britannia, who is also being attacked by Camden's lion. Cresswell comments that this lacks the humor found in most English cartoons at the time. It is simply a vituperative attack on America and those ministers who supported America.
