Description:
Illustration for Herman Melville's Benito Cereno. At center, a bald, shirtless figure holds a curved sword with an outstretched arm in front of their body. In their right arm, the figure holds a hammer behind their head. The figure’s pants are belted at the waist with a rope. In the background, two figures look over the side of the ship at the water below. The image is shaded in brown and gray, and the figure’s eyes and lips are shaded in red. In the upper right corner, notes for the printer, and a swatch of color as a guide.
