Although it is unclear in this image, the poster, which hangs upside down, says “STAMP ACT. ” Hanging the sign upside down may indicate surrender on the part of the British, since there is a tradition that flags are hung upside down to signal surrender. 4. This outfit identifies the participant as a sailor. The leather apron on the man next to him identifies him as an artisan. 5. The liquid used would be distasteful and likely to promote vomiting—possibly vinegar. 6. The official's costume is the result of TARRING AND FEATHERING.
