Wilberforce... The Capitol building in Washington...
Item # 696459
October 29, 1859
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Oct. 29, 1859
* William Wilberforce & the African slave trade
* United States Capitol under construction
Most of the front page is taken up with a nice print captioned: "Portrait of Wilberforce..." with an article on him on page 2. Wilberforce was a British politician & leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade.
Within the issue is a terrific, full page print of: "The Capitol at Washington, United States" with a related article on the facing page, in addition to a print of the: "Panel For a Bronze Door of the Capitol at Washington".
The capitol print is curious in that the dome shown wasn't completed until 1863. Another print within is of: "General Fabre Geffrard, President of the Republic of Hayti".
Complete in 24 pages, great condition.
