Comments
In a historical context, this glass was made around the time that the English parliament enacted the Stamp Act on the American colonies, March 22nd 1765, imposing a tax on many types of printed materials used in the colonies. Seen as a violation of rights, the Act sparks violent demonstrations in several Colonies.
A fine example.
