              <text>While not an exact image of the Mall, this abolitionist print shows the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/267"&gt;role of the federal city in the interstate slave trade&lt;/a&gt; in the early 1800s. Slaves worked, lived, were &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/46"&gt;held captive, and sold&lt;/a&gt; within sight of the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59"&gt;Capitol building&lt;/a&gt;. In this print, the dome of the Capitol is visible above the head of a woman who, with her children, is being forced onto a slave ship, possibly sold to the deep south where working conditions were often very harsh, even deadly.</text>
