Description
This mid 19th century US Abolitionist History print features John Brown calmly descending the steps of the Charles Town jail as a slave woman holding an infant blocks his path on a stone railing. One of Brown's guards reaches forward to push her away. In the foreground a mustachioed and elegantly uniformed soldier waits impatiently, hand on his sword hilt, while behind Brown a figure from the American Revolution, wearing a tri-cornered hat emblazoned "76," watches with concern. The Virginia flag with the motto "Sic semper tyrannis" flies prominently above Brown's head, and a statue of Justice, with its arms and scales broken, stands forgotten behind the railing on the left.
