Eyre Crowe
Eyre Crowe was a British painter who accompanied the author William Makepeace Thackeray to the United States in 1852–1853. As he witnessed the horrors of slavery in Richmond, Virginia, including the auctioning of enslaved people, Crowe sketched his observations and later created paintings of these scenes and wrote essays against the institution.
