Slave artifacts

Small cup with scene of a slave being whipped . . . . White china printed in green, 19th century
75 diameter x 68mm high

Small cup with a tropical scene showing an overseer whipping a kneeling and chained enslaved African and the verse:


'From Sun to Sun the Negro toils


No smiles reward his trusty care,


And when the indignant mind recoils,


His doom is whips and black despair'
