Va de Bon Coeur; Dédié aux Milords de l'Amirauté Anglaise par un Membre de Congrès Américain 1778

"Va de Bon Coeur" is a satirical political cartoon created by American artist Richard Purcell in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. This etching depicts a scene of the British being attacked by the Americans, symbolized by vultures, who are ripping apart a figure representing the British. It was intended to be a humorous and scathing critique of British power, as well as an endorsement of the American cause. The cartoon provides insight into the American perception of the British and highlights the tensions of the time. The satirical style and use of symbolism were common in political cartoons of the 18th century.
