Print of Frederick Douglass, ca. 1879. Creator: Unknown
A lithographic print of African-American diplomat, abolitionist and writer Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) who escaped from slavery in Maryland aged 21. He became a national leader of the abolitionist movement. Famous for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings, he was described by abolitionists as a living counterexample to slaveholders arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. The print is hand colored. Douglass is sitting at a desk and reading a newspaper. His right leg is crossed over his left and he is looking to his right. At the bottom underneath the image is " No. 7.--Our Artistic Correspondent interviewing Frederick Douglass in the District Marshals (sic) Office, Washington, D.C.." and " Illustrated Interviews with Eminent Public Men on Leading Topics of the Day.--see Page 258, 1879." The print is matted and framed
