description: <i>The Anti-Slavery Society Convention, 1840</i>, by Benjamin Robert Haydon (died 1846), given to the National Portrait Gallery, London in 1880 by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Slavery_Society" class="extiw" title="en:Anti-Slavery Society">British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society</a>. Oil on canvas, 1841. 117 in. x 151 in. (2972 mm x 3836 mm). See source website for additional information. <p>Quote from the description at the National Portrait Gallery website: </p> <blockquote> <p>This monumental painting records the 1840 convention of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society which was established to promote worldwide abolition. A frail and elderly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Clarkson" class="extiw" title="en:Thomas Clarkson">[Thomas] Clarkson</a> addresses a meeting of over 500 delegates. [...] Haydon later wrote: 'a liberated <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">slave</u>, now a delegate, is looking up to Clarkson with deep interest ... this is the point of interest in the picture, and illustrative of the object in painting it, the African sitting by the intellectual European, in equality and intelligence'. </p> </blockquote> <p>Identified persons in this portrait (based on National Portrait Gallery description) follow.

description: '<u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">slave</u> on Deck'<br><p>In this image an enslaved African in chains stands on the deck of a ship holding a dagger in his hand as if about to kill himself. Although initialled on the back and dated 1801, the image first appeared as an engraving in the 1793 edition of Thomas Day’s anti-slavery poem ‘The <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">dying</u> Negro’ (1773). </p> <p>This is a strikingly unusual representation of an African for this period. In many depictions during the abolitionist era, Africans were shown as kneeling, pleading or praying. Alternatively, they were caricatured in often grotesque ways. Here, however, the African is portrayed in a defiant pose, presumably contemplating suicide rather than captivity. The unconcern of the crew behind him, the other cargo, inkpot and bill of lading (perhaps) all suggest his status as another ‘trade’ commodity. Moreover, the broad arrow on the crate, lower left, and the guns suggest the vessel has some British government connection.<br></p> '<u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">slave</u> on deck'
