| Artist: Paul Revere (1735–1818) | Credit: http://media.artgallery.yale.edu/pages/collection/popups/pc_prints/details04.html | Description: 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.
