"The Destruction of Tea at Boston Harbor" is a colored lithograph created by Nathaniel Currier, an American printmaker known for his firm Currier & Ives, which specialized in producing hand-colored lithographs of contemporary events and scenes. This particular print, created in 1846, depicts the historic event of the Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773. The artwork illustrates American colonists, some disguised as Native Americans, throwing chests of tea from the British East India Company into the waters of Boston Harbor as a political protest against the Tea Act, which imposed taxes on tea imported to the American colonies.

The Boston Tea Party was a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the American Revolutionary War, as it symbolized the colonists' resistance to what they perceived as unfair taxation without representation by the British government. Currier's lithograph captures the intensity and fervor of the protest, and it has since become an iconic representation of this act of defiance.

Currier's work, produced before his partnership with James Merritt Ives in 1857, reflects the artist's keen interest in the political and social issues of his time. "The Destruction of Tea at Boston Harbor" is not only a work of art but also a historical document that offers insight into the American public's sentiment and the burgeoning spirit of independence that would eventually lead to the formation of the United States.

The lithograph is characterized by its detailed depiction of the figures and the ships in the harbor, as well as its use of vibrant colors to bring the scene to life. It is an example of the type of popular, mass-produced art that made Currier & Ives successful in the 19th century. Today, the print is considered an important artifact of American history and is held in various collections, including those of historical societies and museums dedicated to the American Revolutionary period.
