By Hewlett & Bright. Sale of Valuable Slaves, (On account of departure). New Orleans: later printing of a broadside originally printed by Benjamin Levy in 1835. 11 1/8 x 16 1/2 in. letterpress broadside (laid down on paper, with separations, areas of loss, and discoloration throughout).

This broadside advertises the sale of 10 enslaved persons, Sarah (45 years old), Dennis (Sarah's son, 24 years old), Chole (36 years old), Fanny (Chole's daughter, 16 years old), Dandridge (26 years old), Nancy (Dandridge's wife, 24 years old), Mary Ann (Nancy's daughter, 7 years old), Fanny or Frances (22 years old), Emma, (10 or 11 years old), and Frank (32 years old) by their enslaver, who is departing for Europe. The sale is slated to take place at the New Exchange on the corner of St. Louis Street and Chartres St., on Saturday 16 May.

The enslaved persons are listed with further descriptions, including their inferred ethnicities (mulatress, mulatto, creole), skills, and character traits. For example, Fanny is described as "a mulatress, aged 16 years, speaks French and English, is a superior hair-dresser, (pupil of Guilliac,) a good seamstress and ladies' maid, is smart, intelligent, and a first rate character."

Terms of sale listed at the bottom include "One-half Cash, and the other half in notes at Six months, drawn and endorsed to the satisfaction of the Vendor, with special mortgage on the Slaves until final payment."

An example of the broadside is curated by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Photographs and Prints Division. This is a later printing.
