Questions
1. What response is this image, showing the crowded conditions on the
slave ship Brookes, expected to arouse in the viewer? How do you think
the response of viewers in the early twenty-first century might differ
from those in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries?
2. In recent years some commentators have criticized this image as
indicating passivity on the part of the enslaved Africans and activity
only on the part of the abolitionists. Why might this interpretation be
directed toward the image?
3. Do you think that British viewers of this image of the Brookes would
necessarily have associated their own nation with the slave trade? Why
or why not?
