Correspondence . relating to the slave trade. In some volumes: relative to the slave trade on the slave trade or respecting the slave trade.

1837ABC_47982London 1837. Folio 32 x 20.5 cm. William Clowes 1837-1845; T. R. Harrison 1848-1872. Later stiff blue paper wrappers with white title-label on the front cover blue sprinkled edges. Ad. 11 in beige paper wrappers. With several tables of data. 14 volumes. Rare collection of 14 volumes containing transcriptions of British diplomatic correspondence with other countries relating to the slave trade in the 19th century printed for the British government. Although slavery in the British Empire was abolished in 1807 enslaved people in the colonies were not freed until 1838. In the present volumes which mostly date from 1837-1846 directly after slavery was abolished in most British colonies the British government urges other countries to help put a halt to the now illegal slave trade. The present collection contains the correspondence between Britain and numerous countries in Europe the Americas and North Africa especially France Spain the United States and Austria. The letters describe the ships carrying enslaved people in detail also mentioning their ports of call so they could be more easily found and stopped. Of particular interest are the transcriptions of slave trade acts from various countries as well as the treaties between France and chiefs in African colonies which are difficult to find in print anywhere else.The letters reveal the profound change in attitude towards slavery in the middle of the 19th century. The tone of the correspondence with countries that were quick in abolishing slavery like Denmark is very different than that of the countries that were much slower like the Netherlands and various countries in Latin America. However the letters especially make clear how difficult it must have been to find and stop the ships that were illegally carrying enslaved people. The owners of the vessels often hid their illegal practices behind obscure transactions and renamings which made finding them arduous and sometimes dangerous. It was the task of British commissioners and naval officers to try to uncover the network behind the Atlantic slave traders and bring them to justice. By collaborating with other countries the courts succeeded in the condemnation of over 600 vessels engaged in the slave trade and the liberation of nearly 80000 enslaved people.Ad 11 with blue library stamp on the title-page "Bibliothèque du palais de la paix". All volumes in good to very good condition some very slight browning and foxing some marginal notes in most volumes. unknown

Printed title in blue and red within an embossed gilt ornamental frame one printed "Notice" from the publisher dated June 1842 49 specimens of embossed cards many tinted some printed all mounted to stiff card stock; and 7 sheets of "Embossed Specimens of Printed Billets" sewn to a stiff printed card. Oblong 4to. With a very interesting presentation note from a previous Philadelphia owner Alfred Darrach dated 1928 affixed to the front pastedown identifying the original owner his grandfather as Christian Gobrecht 1785-1844 artist engraver embosser inventor engraver to the U.S. Mint and from 1840-1844 the 4th United States Engraver of the Mint where he was responsible for the creation of several new models and designs including the famous Seated Liberty design which appeared on a variety of American coins from 1836 through 1890. Gobrecht designed many notable medals coins and dies during his career but he also "invented a speaking doll and later a camera lucida. He also produced engravings for calico printers and dies for bookbinders. He engraved the brass dies for embossing the Morocco covers of the Boston Token from 1831 - 1836 as well as the eagle cover of the Philadelphia Token. Among the medals he engraved were the Charles Willson Peale medal the Franklin Institute medal etc ." - DAB. A remarkable specimen album in and of itself all the more so for having belonged to one of America's most important engravers. We cannot say for sure but it is entirely likely that if Gobrecht himself did not design many of the dies for this embosser he may have used the album for his own work and possibly removed the cards which are no longer present.
