EDWASTEMAN COLSTON – GICLEE PRINT

£125.00

In 1680, Edward Colston, became a member of the Royal African Company, which had held the monopoly in England on trading along the west coast of Africa in gold, silver, ivory and slaves from 1662. During Colston’s involvement with the Royal African Company from 1680 to 1692, it is estimated that the company transported around 84,000 African men, women and children, who had been traded as slaves in West Africa, to the Caribbean and the rest of the Americas, of whom 19,000 died (possibly lots more) on their journey due to the poor conditions on many of the vessels.
Colston died on 11th October 1721, and again on 7th June 2020.
