Slipcase has light shelf-wear present. Bound in half cloth boards. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The book is an engrossing account of the slave rebellion in Dutch Guiana, 1772-1777, illustrated with eight engravings after drawings by the author and by William Blake (13 with an additional 3 attributed to him) , Bartolozzi, Benedetti, Barlow, and others. Sabin 91075 called this one of the richest contemporary accounts of a plantation society in the Americas. DNB, says Stedman's narrative is one of the most vivid indictments of slavery that have been penned. He also depicts the social and natural history of the area in detail, and many of the engravings illustrated his descriptions on these subjects. Blake's work, among the finest that he did for hire, are primarily powerful portraits of slaves. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 480 pages .
