Image description

This print was used widely during the campaign to abolish slavery. It depicts slaves kneeling before a figure of Britannia. They have just arrived in the Caribbean from Africa. The print is called 'Britannia giving Freedom to Poor African Slaves'. Many of the images used in the Abolition campaign might be considered inappropriate today. This image represents eighteenth century attitudes to race, empire, morality, power and money. Publisher: Laurie & Whittle, London
