Paul Revere Engraving

This engraving, by Paul Revere, is entitled: "The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King Street, Boston on March 5, 1770."

Revere created it in 1770, basing it on the work of Henry Pelham (1749-1806).

It was highly effective in inflaming American attitudes toward British rule.
