Very fine aquatint, printed in colours and hand finished. Sheet 340 x 480mm (13½ x 19"). Trimmed within plate.
Slaves at work on the Captain Freeman's sugar windmill. To the left is the chapel built by the Moravian missionaries on Samuel Otts' estate. From an extremely rare series 'Views of the West Indies', which was intended (according to the printed wrapper) ''to convey a faithful outline of the existing State of Slavery on the Plantations in the British Islands''. Five parts were planned, each containg four views: the first two were published by the Underwoods in 1827, with a third by Smith & Elder in 1829, before the series was wound up. Only a map of Antigua and 11 plates were issued.
Abbey: 678, the premature end was ''a pity, for these plates were excellent''.
