EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Benjamin Lay, a Courageous Abolitionist and Advocate for Equality". This print showcases Benjamin Lay, an influential figure in the fight against slavery during the 18th century. Created by William Williams, this oil painting on mahogany panel captures the essence of Lay's character and his commitment to social justice. Lay was not only an abolitionist but also a devout Quaker, writer, farmer, and humanitarian. His unyielding belief in equality led him to challenge societal norms through his writings and public demonstrations. In this portrait, he exudes happiness and contentment while holding a book symbolizing education and knowledge. His unconventional appearance with long hair tied back in a basket reflects his rejection of materialistic values prevalent at that time. As a vegetarian himself, Lay advocated for animal rights as well as human rights. Lay's legacy extends beyond America; he influenced British society too through his connections with Thomas Tryon and other like-minded individuals across the Atlantic. His work resonated with people from all walks of life who sought freedom from oppression. Today, this painting is part of the National Portrait Gallery collection at the Smithsonian Institution—a testament to Benjamin Lay's enduring impact on American history. It serves as a reminder of how one individual can make significant contributions towards positive change by challenging deeply ingrained prejudices within society.
