“The P—s of Paris” A British broadside of 1783 satirizes the diplomats who negotiated the Peace of Paris. The Indian declares, “I call this a free and Independent P—s” while the Frenchman (far right) gloats that “tho’ we have wrangled you out of America you freely make P—s with us.” Who does the Indian figure represent? What is the point of view of this cartoon?
