This etching is a plate from the third edition of Bryan Edwards’ 'The history, civil and commercial, of the British colonies in the West Indies' (1801). Thomas Stothard was a highly prolific artist and book illustrator. Inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s fifteenth-century masterpiece The Birth of Venus, Stothard presents an African woman (the ‘Sable Venus’) standing on a half-shell, attended by cherubs, being towed by dolphins to the Americas.
