ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Nov. 29, 1856   The most notable item within this issue is the very nice full page print captioned: "Slave Sale, Charleston, South Carolina, From A Sketch By Eyre Crowe", which depicts the sale of over a dozen slaves.
This woodcut print of Eyre Crowe's painting remains one of the most desired on the slave trade as only rarely are such large prints s found in period newspapers. There is also a related article on the following page. 
Complete in 16 pages, both the slave print and the entire issue are in great condition.
