Description

George Bourne declared that illustrations in his Picture of Slavery, first published in 1834, were accurate illustrations of slavery. A clergyman, Bourne became an abolitionist while serving a Presbyterian church in the Harrisonburg, Virginia, area. Eventually settling in New York, Bourne was a founding member of the American Anti-Slavery Society and a contributor to the Liberator, the leading abolitionist newspaper edited by William Lloyd Garrison.
