Faces of Perfect Ebony. Encountering Atlantic Slavery in Imperial Britain, Hardback/Catherine Molineux

Though blacks were not often seen on the streets of seventeenth-century London, they were already capturing the British imagination. In her exploration of this emerging black presence, Molineux assembles evidence ranging from shop signs, tea trays, trading cards, board games, and playing cards to song ballads and William Hogarth's graphic satires.
