Comments
Caption, "African Slave Traffic"; shows European and African slave traders. European on left examining an African; on right, African traders looking at European trade goods, and European in background with whip herding purchased Africans toward slave ship. Illustrates the process of slaving after Africans were captured; after examining the captives, they were chained and stowed (see pp. 113, 127). This illustration is probably derived from an earlier, unidentified, source; or it is a composite of other images (see, for example, image canot-2 on this website).
