Description
FRANZ XAVIER HABERMANN (GERMAN, 1721-1796) AMERICAN HISTORICAL PRINT, hand-colored etching, "La Destruction De La Statue Royale A Nouvelle Yorck (The Destruction of the Royal Statue at New York)". An imaginary view of American revolutionary soldiers, assisted by free blacks and slaves, pulling down the statue of King George III at Broadway and Bowling Green, in New York on July 9, 1776.
