The bloody massacre perpetrated in King Street Boston on March 5th 1770 by a party of the 29th Regiment. In the background is a town square, with what appear to be row houses or apartments on the left, a meeting hall in the center, and the Butchers Hall and other attached buildings on the right. From one row house chimney on the left rises a plume of smoke. There is blue sky above. In the left foreground there is a group of people in colonial clothing, including hats. Most of the group is standing facing toward a group of soldiers, but three are bleeding on the ground, and two are being carried by others. One colonist is holding out a hand as if to stop the soldiers. In the right foreground there is a line of seven British soldiers blocking the road and holding smoking muskets aimed at the colonists. Behind them stands a commander, raising a sword or bayonet to command the soldiers to fire. A cloud of smoke obscures some of the background.
