Sobre este artículo
The Time-Honored Tradition of Statue Toppling... NYC, 1776
This is a marvelous example of a vue d'optique or "perspective view" that was a form of visual entertainment in Europe in the latter half of the 18th century. These views were often fanciful; this one, at least, represents a real historical event: the toppling of a statute of King George III in New York City. On July 10, 1776, a public reading of the new Declaration of Independence aroused the Sons of Liberty to such an extent that they tore down the statue of the King which had been erected in 1770 on the Bowling Green at the foot of Broadway.
