Notes: The original caricature was designed by Benjamin Franklin while in England in 1766 and was engraved on a copper plate. The image represents the supposed state of Great Britain and her colonies. Franklin had many of them printed for use on message cards that he distributed to officials to encourage the repeal of the Stamp Act.  This image reengraved in Philadelphia, possibly by Dawkins? Cf. Ford, P.L. Franklin bibliography, 285, 286.
