THOMAS COLLEY. The Reconciliation Between Britannia and Her Daughter America

The Reconciliation Between Britannia and Her Daughter America. Artist: Thomas Colley (British, active 1780-83). Dimensions: plate: 9 13/16 x 14 in. (25 x 35.5 cm)
sheet: 10 15/16 x 17 1/16 in. (27.8 x 43.4 cm). Publisher: Published London by William Richardson (British, active 1778-1812). Date: May 11, 1782.
In this satire, allegorical representations of Britannia and America embrace, as France and Spain try to pull America away, and a Dutchman watches. At right, Charles James Fox points out the struggle to Admiral Augustus Keppel. The print responds to a moment during the Revolutionary War in Britain when a new ministry was formed under the leadership of Fox, on March 30th, and a political shift that occured after May 18th, when news of Admiral George Rodney's significant naval victory near Dominica reached England.
