          "alt": "\"Europe Supported By Africa And America\" by William Blake in \"Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam.\"\nthe continents are depicted as female figures. Blake, the abolitionist, has included gold arm bands on the arms of Africa and America to symbolize their enslavement to the central figure of Europe. However, the fact that Europe is being physically supported by her companions suggests the possibility of a more equitable relationship.\n\nStedman, a reformist, writes: “I will close the scene with an emblematical picture of Europe supported by Africa and America, accompanied by an ardent wish that in the friendly manner as they are presented, they shall henceforth and to all eternity be the props of each other.”",
