Teachings of patriots and statesmen; or, The "founders of the republic" on slavery
An 1860 Philadelphia anti-slavery pamphlet compiled by Ezra B. Chase from the Smithsonian Libraries, collecting statements by the founders of the republic on slavery. The single picture is a soft-toned engraved portrait of an elderly powdered-wig man in a dark coat, with a printed signature beneath, offering a designer a restrained vignette model of an oval-framed, tinted-shadow historical portrait.
