"The Boston Tea Party, illustration from Harper's Magazine, 1901" is a historical illustration by the renowned American artist Howard Pyle, depicting the pivotal event of the Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773. This work was created for Harper's Magazine, a monthly publication that has been a staple of American literature and culture since its founding in 1850. Pyle, who lived from 1853 to 1911, was an influential illustrator and author, often credited with shaping the form of American illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In this illustration, Pyle captures the moment when American colonists, dressed as Mohawk Indians, are throwing chests of tea into Boston Harbor as a protest against the British-imposed Tea Act. The act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies, was seen as a symbol of oppressive taxation without representation and led to a significant escalation in tensions that eventually culminated in the American Revolution.

Howard Pyle's artwork is characterized by its vivid storytelling and attention to historical detail, qualities that are evident in this illustration. His use of dramatic lighting and composition helps convey the intensity and defiance of the moment. The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of a key event in American history but also reflects the period's attitudes and interpretations of the nation's founding moments.

As a piece of historical illustration, Pyle's work has been widely reproduced and studied, offering insight into both the event it depicts and the era in which the artist lived. It remains an important example of American illustration and continues to be referenced in discussions of the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolutionary period.
