Slavery & anti-slavery

Illustration of books--19th century

A black male figure in a loincloth raises both arms with clenched fists. A woman, dark but lighter than her male companion, leans forward, wrapping her left arm around his waist, with her right arm forward outstretched. The two figures stand at the edge of a precipice with thunder in front of them and dark clouds overhead.

For further description, see The Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum.

‘Hark – He [God] answers. Wild tornadoes / Strewing yonder flood with wrecks, / Wasting Towns, Plantations, Meadows, / Are the voice in which he speaks.’
