[edit] Summary

English: Boston Massacre engraving by Paul Revere. This is not an accurate depiction of the event (it did not occur in close quarters, nor with the British commander behind his troops) and is thought to be plagiarized from a drawing by artist Henry Pelham.There was one (probably) black man, named Crispus Attucks, and 4 other laborers who died that day.

German: Ein Stich vom Bostonmassaker von Paul Revere. Es handelt sich nicht um eine akkurate Darstellung des Ereignisses (es passiert weder in geschlossenen Quartieren, noch mit einem britischen Kommandeur hinter seinen Truppen, noch bei hellem Tageslicht) und es könnte von einer Zeichnung des Künstlers Henry Pelham adaptiert sein. There was one black man killed name Crispus Attucks and 4 other laborers died that day.

Spanish: El grabado de Masacre de Boston por Paul Reverencia. Esto no es una descripción exacta del acontecimiento (no ocurrió en cierra los cuartos, con el comandante inglés detrás de sus tropas, o en pleno día) y es considerado plagiado de un dibujo por Pelham.Allí de artista Henry era un hombre negro Crispus Attucks denominado y 4 otros trabajadores murieron ese día.

French: Gravure représentant le Massacre de Boston, réalisée par Paul Revere. Il ne s'agit pas d'une représentation réaliste de l'événement qui n'a pas en réalité eu lieu dans ces quartiers de Boston, avec le commandant britannique commandant ses troupes, ni en plein jour. Il pourrait s'agir d'un plagiat d'un dessin de l'artiste Henry Pelham. Ce jour là un noir dénommé Crispus Attucks et 4 autres ouvriers ont été tués.
