Cover illustration for the sheet music 'I would I were a slave again', words and music by C. A. Grace. Description in accompanying test: 'The black man fled his master in Tennessee and ended up in Massachusetts where, contrary to what he had been led to believe, he was treated with indifference by abolitionists. He now desires nothing more than to return to his master in Tennessee, a plan encouraged by the white man.'
