| 60 This juxtaposed with the visual images of enslaved African Americans set within the portraits of their white families: "The Alexander Contee Hanson Family" by Robert Edge Pine, ca. 1787 with their unnamed African American female slave The painting of "Henry Darnall III" by Justus Englehardt Kuhn of 1710 which portrays an unnamed slave boy next to Henry - perhaps the earliest representation of an African American in America. Few objects used or made by slaves in Maryland are identifiable. Those few include: 1 . A woven basket made by enslaved Africans on the Woodlawn Plantation, in Prince George County, in 1860. 2. A water jug made by Melinda - an enslaved African on the Cockey Plantation 3. A rocking chair made by an enslaved African in the family of Dr. George Bishop, 1825 |
