(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION--JUVENILE.) Zante, the Little Negro. (Addressed to the Little English Child.) In Two Parts.
(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION--JUVENILE.) Zante, the Little Negro. (Addressed to the Little English Child.) In Two Parts. Woodcut cover of the familiar kneeling slave, after Wedgwood. 16mo, original wrappers, light wear, front cover parted 1/4 inch at the base of the spine, otherwise quite nice. Birmingham: T. Groom, circa 1830-1840
- Notes: Scarce. OCLC locates no copies. A curious juvenile anti-slavery poem in which "Zante" tells the little English child how fortunate he or she is to be born English. The rear cover bears another piece of verse titled "Praise for Christian Birth." (The English Child of this time was fortunate not to be exploited in a factory.)
- Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
