By 1774 or 1775, when the “New Method of Macarony Making” was published in London, most of the audience for that cartoon must have known “45” was a symbol for radical politics. I’m curious about whether people actually wore hats as in the picture, or whether it was a label as we see in more recent political cartoons telling us what that figure signified.
