Published by James P. Parke, Philadelphia; First American 1808. Volumes I and II of this historical title, includes all three of the original plates (2 foldouts and 1 plain.) Condition: very good throughout. Two volumes in the original tan calf with red printed band on spine. Leather is scuffed with some splitting on edges; still firmly covering the books. Text block heavily tanned with light freckling; pages all firmly attached; very readable. All three of the original plates still firmly attached within, including the famous image of the Brookes slave ship created by Clarkson in 1791 to help with his abolitionist efforts. The cross-section and overhead view depicting the number of enslaved individuals that the slave ship could hold was widely copied and used by abolitionists on both sides of the Atlantic. The two foldouts (on special paper) have some splitting at the folds and one tear, but both are firmly bound in and easily accessible. A third plate, shackles, is on printed on special paper and bound in firmly. This is Clarkson's history of the transatlantic slave trade, from its origins to its abolition within the British Empire in 1807. Clarkson, along with young William Wilberforce, member of British Parliament, was the key figure in achieving abolition in Britain and later in the Americas. More photos available on request.…
