Philip Dawe - The alternative of Williams-burg
Summary
Print shows a "Virginian loyalist" being forced to sign a document, possibly issued by the Williamsburg Convention, by a club-wielding mob of "liberty men." On the left, a man is being led towards a gallows standing in the background on the right and from which hangs a sack of feathers and a barrel of tar.
