The overthrow of American slavery, containing descriptions of important events and sketches of some of the prominent actors
A Victorian book on the overthrow of American slavery, written by William G. Queal and published in New York and Cincinnati in 1885 for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of floral ornaments: trailing roses, pansies, hanging sprays of blossoms, and daffodils, with fine hatched line work that a designer could borrow for botanical borders, dividers, and vintage decorative headers.
