In 1853, Eyre Crowe, a young British artist, visited a slave auction in Richmond, Virginia. This book uses Crowe's paintings to explore the texture of the slave trade in Richmond, Charleston, and New Orleans; the evolving iconography of abolitionist art; and the role of visual culture in the transatlantic world of abolitionism.
