Great nevves from the Barbadoes. Or, A true and faithful account of the grand conspiracy of the Negroes against the English. And the happy discovery of the same. With the number of those that were burned alive, beheaded, and otherwise executed for their horrid crimes. With a short discription of that plantation. With allowance
This is a 1676 London pamphlet, printed for L. Curtis in Goat-Court on Ludgate Hill, anonymous in authorship, reporting a planned uprising by enslaved Africans against English planters in Barbados and the executions that followed. The picture is only the large display word "Barbadoes." set in a heavy black-letter-style serif type, so a designer can take from it a dense, weathered wood-type headline with strong contrast and tight spacing.
