Additional Details

Early portrait of the noted abolitionist, showing him seated, holding a copy of the Declaration of Independence in his hand, with "All men were born free and equal" at the top of the page. To Clay's right in the background is a small vignette engraving of what is presumably a slave-ship with palm trees on a distant shore.
