Wood Engraving, The Modern Medea

A wood engraving, created after a painting by Thomas Noble and published in Harpers Magazine on May 18, 1867, depicts Margaret Garner, an escaped slave who fled Kentucky for Ohio, as she stands over two of her four children lying dead on the floor. She killed the two so they would not have to endure slavery. Her other two children cling to her skirt as she faces four men who pursued her.
