Mounted engraving depicting the scene on board ship as Americans grasp boxes of tea and heave their contents overboard; the Americans are shown wearing breeches and no shirts, and a lone Britisher in the shadowy right foreground is dressed, in contrast, in a wig, tricorn, and coat. Another vessel is visible in the near background, and three more along the horizon. Image has an oval border, below which is a printed plaque with the title and "BARLOW VOL. II. p. 41." In the lower margin is printed, "Engraved for J. Parsons, 21, Paternoster Row, August 15, 1795."
