Harrowed by what he witnessed, he captured the scene in sketches that he would later develop into a series of illustrations and paintings, including the culminating painting, Slaves Waiting for Sale, Richmond, Virginia.

Tracing Crowe's trajectory from Richmond across the American South and back to London-where his paintings were exhibited just a few weeks after the start of the Civil War-Maurie D. McInnis illuminates not only how his abolitionist art was inspired and made, but also how it influenced the international public's grasp of slavery in America.
