Post-Medieval Anti-slavery Medal |
||
| Description |
English: A post-Medieval copper-alloy anti-slavery medal, c. 1790. Obverse: AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER; central motif illustrates a male slave manacled and in chains, kneeling right on ground, in supplication. Reverse: MAY SLAVERY & OPPRESSION CEASE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD; Central motif of clasped hands. The edge of the medal is plain. Diameter: 28.0mm. Weight: 6.20g. Images and inscriptions such as these, with their appeal to the sympathy of the viewer, were common devices circulated by anti-slavery abolitionists in Britain to further their campaign. Medals such as this would have been distributed at meetings or sold, with the proceeds going to fund the abolitionist campaign. |
