Page from a book on an unidentified book on slavery, with an enslaved woman kneeling and chained to the ground
Engraving with the following caption: 'I would not have a slave to till my ground/ To carry me, to fan me while I sleep,/ And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth/ That sinews bought and sold, have ever earn'd./ We have no slaves at home -- why then abroad?' The page has been cut from a book. Part of the Michael Graham-Stewart slavery collection.
