Description

Many local anti-slavery societies had been established across Wales during the campaign to abolish slavery between 1807 and 1838. In the decades after 1838, they turned their attention to the issue of slavery in the United States.
This poster was produced for a lecture tour by a freed slave campaigning for abolition in the United States of America. It uses a crude copy of Josiah Wedgwood's "kneeling slave" image of 1788.
