John Warner Barber’s 1840 engraving of the rebellion. Though the violence of the imagery upset abolitionists, it is sympathetic to the rebels. The Africans are individualised as the artist had met and drawn them in New Haven prison. Cinque is on the left with a raised machete. The cabin boy Antonio is keeping out of the fight in the rigging on the far left, as he did in the real rebellion. The cook’s body can be seen in the background.
