JOIN OR DIE – The Massachusetts Spy, or Thomas’s Boston Journal. Boston: Isaiah Thomas, 27 October 1774. Vol.4, No.195.
Paul Revere’s famed “Join or Die” snake and dragon cartoon. This issue with the front page full of reports from the Massachusetts Provincial Congress including a long address from the Worcester Committee to General Gage protesting the behavior of the King’s troops and the enforcement of the Port Bill, a continued call to boycott East-India tea, and a resolution for public Thanksgiving, signed in type by John Hancock to occur the day before the first anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. The original “Join or Die” graphic was created by Benjamin Franklin in 1754 to underscore the need for colonial union at the start of the French and Indian War. During the American Revolution it acquired additional meaning, and Revere adapted the design, lengthening the snake and adding a dragon.
Four pages, folio (461 x 295mm). (Some even browning, ink splashes, second leaf tipped to mount.)
