Hardback. Condizione: Good. The chance discovery of the log of a slave ship - the "Daniel and Henry" which set sail from Dartmouth in 1700, bound for the Guinea Coast - prompted Nigel Tattersfield to make this investigation into an episode in England's provincial maritime history. After an Act of Parliament in 1698 released monopoly on trading in West Africa, respectable burghers in a dozen small provincial ports seized their chance of quick rewards from human souls. This book provides an insight into the world of these merchants who knew nothing of trading in Africa, nor of the unscrupulous tribal chiefs who readily offered men, women and children in hard bargaining for beads, alcohol, weapons and gunpowder. After months at sea, what remained alive of the human cargo, stacked in chains on platforms in sweltering heat below deck, was delivered into the hands of rich plantation owners in the West Indies and North America in exchange for sugar, cotton, rice or tobacco. The author draws on long-forgotten documents to chart how the ports of Deal, Lyme Regis, Exeter, Falmouth, Whitehaven, among others, fared both economically and morally in the frantic early years of slaving when so much was won and lost.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was the foremost wood engraver not only of his generation, but of all subsequent generations, and the quality of his work has remained unsurpassed. His extraordinary woodcuts of animals and birds made him famous, and he dramatically influenced the development of the illustrated book in both England and America. Yet Bewick was no isolated creative genius toiling in an artist's atelier, but a trade engraver in the heart of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, working at the very moment when the Industrial Revolution was beginning to change the world. His was an exceptional artistic talent, yet his trade engraving shop was tasked with similar commissions to those offered to hundreds of other similar businesses the length and breadth of the kingdom, catering for their local customers. Bewick's own talent, however, meant that he approached the trade commissions with his own particular flair and originality, creating many commercial works that are very little known. The British Museum holds an unrivalled collection of Bewick's works, including those from his commercial ventures, and this book celebrates the skill of the artist by presenting sixty engravings, some never published before, and by offering a historical perspective. Bewick made important - but even today often unrealised - contributions to the development of what we would today call graphic design. From the Victorian times onwards, his work was often separated from his commercial world and he was regarded as an artist-naturalist rather than the artist-craftsman he actually was. This book takes an original approach by addressing this balance for the first time, and places Bewick at the centre of English commercial life in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.…
