notes:
The description of the plate in the Table of Contents identifies the slave market as being the Val Longo, or slave market at Rio de Janeiro. The Valongo was the largest slave market in Rio which, in turn, was the port through which more slaves passed than any other in the Americas. Earle, a watercolorist, accepted a position as artist in April 1832 with Charles Darwin's expedition on the Beagle, but increasing ill-health forced him to give up the position at Rio de Janeiro at the last moment. Image placed horizontally on page. Date on item is: 5, April, 1824.
