介绍（中）	1787年，威奇伍德陶瓷公司发行了一个客串奖章，上面有一个跪着戴着镣铐的黑人，上面写着："我不是一个男人和兄弟吗？"在被总部位于伦敦的废除奴隶贸易协会用作印章后，这一图像成为了英国、法国和美国反奴隶制运动的象征。它在印刷的废奴主义文献中大量传播，也出现在各种消费品上，包括雕刻的宝石印章，上面描绘了一位跪着的黑人妇女，并重新修改了短语"我不是女人和姐妹吗？"也出现在本次展览中。尽管反奴隶制运动取得了成功，但跪着恳求的黑人形象的主题无处不在，巩固了黑人、奴隶制和卑躬屈膝之间的联系。类似的联想出现在Carpaux的《为什么天生被奴役！》中！，它还将一个绑定的黑色人物与请愿铭文配对。
介绍（英）	In 1787, the Wedgwood ceramics firm issued a cameo medallion featuring a kneeling and shackled Black man with the inscription, "Am I not a man and a brother?" After its adoption as the seal of the London-based Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, the image became an emblem of the antislavery movements in Britain, France, and the United States. Proliferating in printed abolitionist literature, it also appeared on a wide range of consumer goods including the carved gemstone seal depicting a kneeling Black woman with the reworked phrase, "Am I not a woman and a sister?" which also appears in this exhibition. Despite the successes of the antislavery movement, the ubiquity of the motif of the kneeling and beseeching Black figure cemented associations between Blackness, slavery, and subservience. Similar associations emerge in Carpeaux’s Why Born Enslaved!, which also pairs a bound Black figure with a petitioning inscription.
