- Support This picture of John Gabriel Stedman shows him, standing over a slave, during his expedition to Suriname. This artpiece is unique and has not been made available in this resolution and quality so far. The item is part of the book The Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam, dated 1796. It reveals the contemporary outcome of slavery and other aspects realting to colonization, which helped the abolitionist movement. I therefore consider it of worthy being nominated. The adjustments I made can be read on the file's page. For further info feel free to drop some lines. I am eager to hear your opinion. -- Peter Weis (talk) 21:56, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support This is one of the best known images about slavery. Great to see it in its original splendour. GerardM (talk) 11:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
