Drawn on Stone by H. Millichamp, from a Picture in the Possession of W. Boultbee, Esq.r. M. & N. Hanhart, Lith. Printers, 64, Charlotte St, Rathbone Pl.
London, Published by H. Millicamp, 14, Church St Lisson Grove [n.d. c.1840].
Rare lithograph, printed on chine collé. Printed area 370 x 265mm (14½ x 10½") very large margins. Slight crease above head to left.
Joseph Sturge (1793-1859), Quaker and founder of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, now Anti-Slavery International. He spent his life engaged in Radical political actions supporting pacifism, working class rights, and the universal emancipation of slaves. In Jamaica, Joseph Sturge helped to found Free Villages with the Baptists, one of which was named Sturge Town in his memory. The dedication is to Howe Browne (1788-1845), 2nd Marquess of Sligo. Although he campaigned for abolition he inherited two slave-holding plantations from his grandmother. When he was appointed Governor and Vice-Admiral of Jamaica in 1834, only a year after the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, his attempts to transition to a free society put him at odds with the Jamaican Assembly, who forced him to resign the governorship.
