About This Item
Harper's Weekly, 1859. First Edition. Art, Prints & Posters. Very Good. [African American Caricature and the John Brown Raid] Original front page of Harper's Weekly from Nov. 19, 1859 caricaturing the John Brown raid on the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry. Mounted under glass, in wood frame. Illustrations: "A Southern Planter Arming His Slaves to Resist Invasion," and "Effect of John Brown's Invasion At The South." The three scenes show an elderly black man using a pike to dig potatoes, a black woman cook brandishing a kitchen knife, and a southern planter handing out weapons to his slaves. Brown had stockpiled a large quantity of pikes to arm slaves in Virginia. While this illustration was an an attempt by Harper's Weekly to remain neutral in the conflict between north and south, the paper seems quite sympathetic to the southern view.
