Page from a book on an unidentified book on slavery, with an enslaved woman and child

An engraving showing a woman seated under a palm tree, holding a small child. On the reverse the following poem is printed: ‘Negro woman, who sittist pining in captivity and weepest over thy sick child though no one seeth thee. God pitieth thee; raise thy voice forlorn and abandoned one; call upon him from amidst thy bonds for assuredly He will hear thee'.
