"THE BALLANCE OF POWER," 1780
This English cartoon mocks the alliance of Spain and the Netherlands with France in support of the American war. On the left, the female FIGURE Britannia cannot be moved by all the lightweights on the right. France and Spain embrace while a Dutch boy hops on, saying "I'll do anything for Money." The forlorn Indian maiden, representing America, wails, "My Ingratitude is Justly punished." The New York Public Library. Art Resource, NY.
