The deck of a slave-ship showing the stern, the lower part of a mast and sail. A girl is suspended by an ankle from a rope held over a pulley by a sailor (right), who hauls at it, leaning back, and saying, "Dam me if I like it I have a good mind to let go". Two other sailors on the extreme right walk away, saying, "My Eyes Jack our Girles at Wapping are never flogged for their modesty," and, "By G-d that's too bad if he had taken her to bed to him it would be well enough, Split me I'm allmost sick of this Black Business." The captain (Kimber) stands on the left looking at the spectator with a grinning leer, his hands to his chest as if laughing; in his right hand is a whip. Two scourges lie on the deck. In the background three naked slaves are sitting. Beneath the title is etched: 'Or the Inhumanity of Dealers in human flesh exemplified in Captn Kimber's treatment of a Young Negro Girl of 15 for her Virjen Modesty.' 10 April 1792.
