Few printed objects show the machinery of American slavery as plainly as a broadside, a single sheet meant to be posted in a public place. This one pairs a headline naming a slave market with declarations and notices about a prison, the kind of announcements that filled town squares and courthouse doors. Such sheets advertised sales, reported jailed individuals and publicized legal business, which shows how the buying, selling and confining of enslaved people was folded into ordinary civic life. The layout is worth studying for its matter-of-fact tone, which places human sale and imprisonment beside routine public notices.
