[Boston:
s.n.,
July 1831]
1 print:
engraving;
vignette 6 x 10 cm. (2.25 x 4 in)
Masthead from the Liberator (Boston: William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp, Publishers), vol. 1, no. 27 (July 2, 1831), p. 105.
As indicated by two signs, the vignette is set in a horse-market, and depicts an auction of "Slaves, Horses, & Other Cattle," complete with an auctioneer standing at a podium at the right. In the center of a small group consisting of slaves and potential bidders, a female slave covers her face in desperation as two small childen huddle around her. To her right, a male slave sits at the base of the podium. In a clear gesture of despair, he rests his elbows on his knees and holds his head in his hands. A domed building that appears to be a court-house is visible in the distant background. A large flag reading "LIBERTY" waves from its top.
