The American Rattlesnake

The American Rattlesnake, a political cartoon, was published after peace negotiations between Britain and America were underway.  According to the Library of Congress:

...this etching suggests the futility of further British efforts to suppress forcibly the Americans. The American rattlesnake boasts: "Two British Armies I have thus Burgoyn'd, And room for more I've got behind." A sign is posted over a vacant third coil: "An Apartment to Lett for Military Gentlemen."
