Slavery and the Remedy” (1862) by Samuel Nott with Engraved Slave Trade Print – 4th Edition - Inventory Number: HIS 269

Powerful and historically significant pair of Civil War-era items confronting the issue of slavery in 19th-century America.

Slavery and the Remedy: Or, Principles and Suggestions for a Remedial Code by Samuel Nott, 4th edition, published 1862 by Crocker and Brewster (Boston). In this work, Nott—a Northern clergyman—argues for a moral, gradual remedy to slavery through legal reform rather than violent upheaval. While controversial today, the book provides important insight into mid-19th-century theological and political debates around emancipation and the role of Christian ethics.

Engraving: Accompanying lithograph-style print titled “Band of Captives Driven Into Slavery”, a haunting depiction of African captives in chains being marched through the wilderness. This powerful image underscores the human cost of the transatlantic slave trade and complements the themes of the book. Printed on heavier stock, ideal for display.

Together, these items create a compelling display of antebellum thought and imagery that starkly illustrates the realities and moral struggles surrounding slavery in the 1800s.

Comes housed in 12 x 16 riker display case with blue velvet and descriptive card.
