[Published January 1st. 1830 - by T. Mc.Lean 26 Haymarket London.]
Coloured etching. Sheet 205 x 260mm (8 x 10¼"). Edges chipped. Tears into image on right.
10 vignettes on one sheet, the largest being a fashion satire. Of most interest are the two scenes relating to the Slave Trade: the first shows 'Slaves in bondage', with a happy family on a plantation; the second, 'In full enjoyment of Liberty', shows the effects of thoughtless emancipation, with a family left in dire poverty, with Wilberforce's name, suggesting it was his fault.
