Title
The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King Street Boston on March 5th, 1770
Description
Deutsch: Ein Stich vom Bostonmassaker von Paul Revere. Es handelt sich nicht um eine akkurate Darstellung des Ereignisses (es passiert weder in geschlossenen Quartieren, noch mit einem britischen Kommandeur hinter seinen Truppen, noch bei hellem Tageslicht) und es könnte von einer Zeichnung des Künstlers Henry Pelham adaptiert sein. Ein, wahrscheinlich schwarzer, Mann namens Crispus Attucks und vier weitere Arbeiter starben an diesem Tag.
English: Boston Massacre engraving by Paul Revere. This is not an accurate depiction of the event (it did not occur in close quarters, nor with the British commander behind his troops) and is thought to be plagiarized from a drawing by artist Henry Pelham. There was one (probably) black man, named Crispus Attucks, and 4 other laborers who died that day.
Español: El grabado de Paul Revere sobre la Masacre de Boston. Esta no es una descripción exacta del acontecimiento (no ocurrió tan cerca, ni con el comandante inglés detrás de sus tropas) y se considera el plagio de un dibujo por del artista Henry Pelham. Había (probablemente) un hombre negro, llamado Crispus Attucks, y 4 otros trabajadores que murieron aquel día.
Français : Gravure représentant le Massacre de Boston, réalisée par Paul Revere. Il ne s'agit pas d'une représentation réaliste de l'événement qui n'a pas en réalité eu lieu dans ces quartiers de Boston, avec le commandant britannique commandant ses troupes, ni en plein jour. Il pourrait s'agir d'un plagiat d'un dessin de l'artiste Henry Pelham. Ce jour là un noir dénommé Crispus Attucks et 4 autres ouvriers ont été tués.
