Domestic scene showing the household of an emancipated black family. In the center of the scene, a woman stands with her infant child. She is flanked by her young son, who stands to the left, and by her husband and a third child, who are seen at the right. Seated on a low stool, the husband reads from a book, presumably the Bible. Some work gear and instruments hang on the wall: a basket, a straw hat, and two hoes. Another family can be seen through an open doorway, and a church is visible in the distant background., Cover page of Negro's Friend: on the ease, safety, and advantages of liberating the enslaved Negroes; and on compensation to their masters (London: Printed by Bagster and Thoms, 1830?)., Fels Afro-Americana Image Project, Anti-Slavery Movement Imagery.
