[The Columbiad: a Poem.] [Cruelty Presiding over the Prison Ship.]
R. Smirke R.A. pinx.t. J. Neale Sculp.
[Philadelphia: A. Conrad and Co., 1807.]
Stipple with engraving, scratched letter progress proof, with guidelines for the elaborate title border, late 18th century watermark. Sheet 285 x 220mm (11¼ x 8¾"). Trimmed to plate, small hole in unprinted area.
An illustration from Joel Barlow's epic poem about America, 'The Columbiad', with the winged figure of (British) Cruelty ignoring the pleas from American prisoners of war reaching through the hatch of a prison ship. 'The Columbiad' is a philosophical epic poem, enlarged from Joel Barlow's earlier work 'The Vision of Columbus' (1787). Intended as a national epic, it was initially popular but quickly fell out of favour: 'The Concise Oxford Companion to American Literature' describes it as 'a tedious and turgid work modeled on Milton'. A drawing is in the Scottish National Gallery titled "An Allegory connected to the Slave Trade."
