Facsimile of the proclamation about the tea ship, 1773 (c1880). In May 1773 the British government passed the Tea Act. Designed to protect the East India Company, it granted the company a monopoly over the tea trade in North America. The measure was widely unpopular in the American colonies, with anger against the act culminating in the Boston Tea Party on 16th December 1773. A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume II, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880.
