Description
English:
Granville Sharp and a Slave, Jamaica, ca.1875-ca.1940
"Granville Sharp and Negro Slave" Image of a painting of Granville Sharp one of the first English campaigners for the abolition of the slave trade (1735-1813). The painting shows Sharpe holding onto a young male slave, the man has a cut to his head and is leaning against a wall.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to Jamaica. In 1800 the Scottish Missionary Society sent three missionaries to Jamaica. Two died of yellow fever within weeks of arrival but the third became a pioneer missionary. In 1824 a second venture travelled to Jamaica by invitation of local planters to instruct their slaves. Scottish missionaries worked at Montego Bay in the 19th century and in 1836 the first presbytery of the Jamaican Church was constituted here.
The original appears to be in the possession of the National Maritime Museum, with a creation date of the early 20th century.[1]. The "Negro Slave" depicted is Jonathan Strong.
