November 29, 1856
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Nov. 29, 1856 The most notable item within this issue is the pg. 555 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 is quite desirable. Rarely are such large prints of slave-sales found in period newspapers, and this is one of the best. There is also a related article on the following page.
Complete in 16 pages. Some minor dampstaining around the margins of some pages, but the slave auction print is in outstanding condition - unusually well-inked and without typical foxing. The print measures 9 1/2 by 14 inches.
