Few prints of the Revolutionary War show the siege of Boston as plainly as this one, whose title promises a "true depiction" of the town as American rebels surrounded it in March 1776. The British had held Boston since 1774, and by early 1776 militia from across New England had encircled the peninsula, cutting off the garrison by land. Engravings like this one were popular in London and the colonies, where readers eagerly followed the war and often relied on such views for their sense of distant events. Its date points to the months just before the British evacuated the city in March 1776, a turning point worth noticing in the story of the conflict.
