1808-1815 Illustrations by William Berryman
“A collection of over 300 sketches and watercolours by William Berryman, an English artist who lived in Jamaica between 1808 and 1815. Berryman intended to use his drawings as the basis for a series of lithographs but died before completing his project. The drawings are contained in an album owned by the Library of Congress in Washington DC. As well as landscapes, Berryman drew enslaved people going about everyday tasks. The subjects of his drawings are generally preoccupied and facing away from him but nevertheless have an immediacy unusual in portraits of enslaved people at this time.” - Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery
