John Binns, an Irish-born Philadelphia journalist and publisher of the Democratic Press, was one of the first to realize in June of 1816 of the potential market for a 'splendid and correct copy of the Declaration of Independence, with fac-similes of all the signatures, the whole to be encircled with the arms of the thirteen States and of the United States' (as described in his solicitation for subscribers).

The town also sent a circular letter to the other colonies condemning the acts and calling for a united response. This was not the first time Boston had successfully resisted unpopular British policies - they had previously forced the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1763. However, any unrest in Massachusetts was now seen as a serious threat to the Crown's increasingly firm control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a show of force, the British government deployed two regiments from Halifax to Boston in October 1768. A detailed watercolor painting, titled \"A Perspective View of the Blockade of Boston Harbour,\" vividly depicts this moment, with British warships anchored off Long Wharf as troops disembarked. The artist, Christian Remick, was a self-taught sailor and painter who created at least six versions of this scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemick's painting not only documents the event but also protests what the colonists viewed as tyrannical actions by King George III.
