'Slave Trade'
Morland exhibited the original oil painting from which this print is derived, ‘Execrable human traffick, or the affectionate slaves’, at the Royal Academy in 1788. It illustrates how pervasive the question of the abolition of the slave trade had become in Britain at this time, affecting artistic and literary production, as well as informing political debate.
