LOC Title

Anthony Burns / drawn by Barry from a daguereotype [sic] by Whipple & Black ; John Andrews, sc.

LOC Summary

Print shows a portrait of the fugitive slave Anthony Burns, whose arrest and trial under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 touched off riots and protests by abolitionists and citizens of Boston in the spring of 1854. A bust portrait of the twenty-four-year-old Burns is surrounded by scenes from his life. These include (clockwise from lower left): the sale of the youthful Burns at auction, a whipping post with bales of cotton, his arrest in Boston on May 24, 1854, his escape from Richmond on shipboard, his departure from Boston escorted by federal marshals and troops, Burns's "address" (to the court?), and finally Burns in prison. Copyrighting works such as prints and pamphlets under the name of the subject (here Anthony Burns) was a common abolitionist practice. This was no doubt the case in this instance, since by 1855 Burns had in fact been returned to his owner in Virginia. (Source: Reilly)

The Juvenile National Calendar

LOC Summary

One of only five known copies of this rare American children’s book, published in Baltimore around 1825, the Calendar describes the duties and pay of various government officials including the president, vice president, cabinet members, and Congress. In verse that celebrates learning, virtue, and patriotic spirit, the “rising generation” is offered hope that “you, if you’re good, may be President yet.” The text and twelve hand-colored engravings are the work of a Baltimore lawyer who, in his youth, wrote and drew for the publisher Fielding Lucas in exchange for law books.
