'The Woodman' by Thomas Gainsborough

Print of an engraving by Peter Simon, after the painting by Thomas Gainsborough. 'Engraved from the original Picture in the Collection of the Right Hon'ble the Earl of Gainsborough. Publish'd Augt. 1. 1791 by John & Josiah Boydell, Cheapside, & at the Shakspeare Gallery Pall Mall London.'

ALS from W. Peete Musgrave to Granville Sharp, from Cambridge.

Musgrave writes in response to a letter from Clarkson requesting that he should advise the Committee of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade of anyone who could give evidence on the slave trade. The bearer of this letter, a sailor called Peacock, had been first mate on a slave ship for the last four years and had been in Africa, South America and the East and West Indies. He wishes them success in their "generous exertions in favor of the oppressed". Peacock clearly delivered the letter, as it is endorsed in red ink by Granville Sharp on receipt.
