Poor old England endeavoring to reclaim his wicked American children.
1777
Depicts England as an old man with wooden leg and crutch tugging on strings hooked onto the noses of five men across a divide labeled "The Atlantic Ocean"; the men resist, shoot pellets at, and taunt the old man. Includes a quote attributed to Shakespeare, "And therefore is England maimed & forc'd to go with a staff."
