One engraving entitled "Wouski" dated January 23, 1788. Features a man and a woman on a hammock in what looks like a ships hold. Below them is a coil of rope, a small barrel labeled Jamaica Rum, and a monogramed trunk. The woman is black and the man is white. On the bottom of the engraving it reads, "Far be the noise Of Kings & Crowns from us whose gentle souls Our kinder fates have steerd another way. Free as the forest birds well pair together Without remembering who our fathers were And in soft murmurs interchange our souls."
