Abstract
This article presents new research arising from editing Lamb’s poem ‘The Young Catechist’ (1827), written to accompany Henry Mayer’s painting of a black man and white girl, now on display at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Through reproduction in several media and dissemination in diverse print contexts, the poem and painting became part of ideologically fraught public discourses around abolition and race relations in the second quarter of the nineteenth century.
