Solomon Northup (July 10, 1807 or 1808 –  1863 ) was an American abolitionist and the primary author of the memoir "Twelve Years a Slave".
 A free-born African American from New York, he was the son of a freed slave and a free woman of color.
 A farmer and a professional violinist, Northup had been a landowner in Hebron, New York.
 In 1841, he was offered a traveling musician's job and went to Washington, D.C. (where slavery was legal); there he was drugged, kidnapped, and sold as a slave.
 He was shipped to New Orleans, purchased by a planter, and held as a slave for 12 years in the Red River region of Louisiana, mostly in Avoyelles Parish.
 He remained a slave until he met a Canadian working on his plantation who helped get word to New York, where state law provided aid to free New York citizens who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery.
 His family and friends enlisted the aid of the Governor of New York, Washington Hunt, and Northup regained his freedom on January 3, 1853.
Arthur William Hodge (1763–1811) was a plantation farmer, member of the Executive Council and Legislative Assembly, and slave owner in the British Virgin Islands, who was hanged on 8 May 1811, for the murder of one of his slaves.
 He was the first West Indian slave owner to be executed for the murder of a slave considered his property, and perhaps the only British West Indian slave owner, or British subject, to be executed for murdering his slave.
 He was not however the first white person to have been lawfully executed for the killing of a slave, as some historians have claimed.
The fugitive slave laws were laws passed by the United States Congress in 1793 and 1850 to provide for the return of slaves who escaped from one state into another state or territory.
 The idea of the fugitive slave law was derived from the Fugitive Slave Clause which is in the United States Constitution (Article IV, Section 2, Paragraph 3).
 It was thought that forcing states to deliver escaped slaves to slave owners violated states' rights due to state sovereignty and was believed that seizing state property should not be left up to the states.
 The Fugitive Slave Clause states that escaped slaves "shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due", which abridged state rights because retrieving slaves was a form of retrieving private property.
 After the Compromise of 1850, the Supreme Court made slavery a protected institution and arranged a series of laws that allowed slavery in the new territories and forced officials in Free States to give a hearing to slaveholders without a jury.
Robert Kipniss (born Brooklyn, New York, February 1, 1931) is an American painter and printmaker.
 His mature paintings, lithographs, mezzotints, and drypoints share stylistic characteristics and subject matter and typically depict trees seen close up or at varying distances in fields.
 Other works show one or more houses in a landscape or town setting.
 Some are interiors with a view toward a window or with a still life set close to one, frequently with a landscape beyond.
 No human figures are present, and all forms are reduced to essentials.
 The time is often dusk or nighttime.
 Kipniss' use of exceptionally subtle black and white tones or, less often, lightly toned hues creates an overall atmospheric effect.
 His works have been described as conveying solitude and inward experience.
 Kipniss often uses the subject matter of a painting in a lithograph or mezzotint, sometimes with variations.
 His paintings date from the early 1950s.
 His main body of prints are lithographs and mezzotints, the former dating from 1968 into 1990, the latter since 1990.
The Execution of Emperor Maximilian is a series of paintings by Édouard Manet from 1867 to 1869, depicting the execution by firing squad of Emperor Maximilian I of the short-lived Second Mexican Empire.
 Manet produced three large oil paintings, a smaller oil sketch and a lithograph of the same subject.
 All five works were brought together for an exhibition in London and Mannheim in 1992–93, and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2006.
Samuel Worcester Rowse (January 29, 1822 – May 24, 1901) was an American illustrator, lithographer, and painter.
 He was most famous for his drawings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
 Rowse is also well known for his lithograph, "The Resurrection of Henry Box Brown at Philadelphia".
Ambassadeurs is a 1892 lithograph poster by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
 The subject of the poster is Toulouse-Lautrec's friend cabaret singer Aristide Bruant.
The Mason County, Kentucky slave pen played a very important role in the American slave trade, confining slaves who were intended to go farther south for sale.
 This slave pen was recovered from a farm in Mason County, Kentucky, United States, which was owned by a slave trader named John W. Anderson, who played a significant part within the American domestic slave trade.
 Anderson bought his farmstead in 1825, and after several years he and his family built a mansion and converted the old house into slave quarters.
 In the early 1830s, he converted the slave quarters into a slave pen.
Henry "Box" Brown (c. 1816 – June 15, 1897) was a 19th-century Virginia slave who escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849 to abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Corncockle Quarry was a large and historically important sandstone quarry near Templand in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
 Stone from here was used in the late Victorian era to build tenements in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and also to construct New York 'brownstones'.
 The sandstone dates from the Permian Age and dinosaur footprints were found there in the 19th century.
 The stone is currently extracted by Dunhouse.
 At its peak the quarry was connected to the Caledonian Main Line by a mineral railway.
 It was the subject of a lithograph by William Jardine.
