“The Junto in a Bowl Dish” is a satirical print created in 1781 by an anonymous artist. The print depicts a group of British politicians as fish in a bowl, with the American colonies as the bowl itself. The British are shown being attacked by a large fish representing the American colonies. The satirical print was a popular form of political commentary in the 18th century, and this print reflects the tensions between Britain and its American colonies during the American Revolution. The work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
