The Anti-Slavery Record, Vol. II, No. 8
(August; New York: Published by the American Anti-Slavery Society,
1836) Caption: "'INCENDIARY PICTURES.' Owing to the absence of the
Editor no 'incendiary picture' was prepared for this number of the
Record. We have, however, procured and placed above a little
one—"inflammatory, incendiary, and insurrectionary in the highest
degree"—which is in common use at the South. The cast from which it
was taken was manufactured in this city, for the southern trade, by a
firm of stereotypers, who, on account of the same souther trade,
refused to stereotype the Record, because it
contained just such pictures! Now, how does it come to pass, that
this sad picture when printed in a southern newspaper is perfectly
harmless, but when printed in the Anti-Slavery Record is perfectly
incendiary? We have nothing further to say about it till this
question is answered." Alderman Library, University
