"A Female Negro Slave with a Weight Chained to her Ankle, from Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam 1772-77, 1796" is an illustration from a seminal work by John Gabriel Stedman, a Dutch-British soldier and writer. Stedman's narrative, published in 1796, is a detailed account of his experiences during a military expedition in Suriname, a Dutch colony in South America, where he was sent to suppress a rebellion among the enslaved population. The illustration is a poignant depiction of the brutal treatment of enslaved people, particularly women, during the 18th century in the colonies.

The image serves as a stark representation of the inhuman conditions and the cruelty of the slave system. It shows a female slave with a heavy weight attached to her ankle, a punishment meant to prevent escape and to serve as a physical and psychological restraint. The illustration is one of many in Stedman's narrative that documents the harsh realities of slavery and has been instrumental in providing historical context and visual testimony of the period.

Stedman's work, including the illustrations, played a significant role in the abolitionist movement by exposing the atrocities of slavery to European audiences. The narrative, along with its engravings, is considered an important historical document for understanding the conditions of slavery in the Dutch colonies and the broader Atlantic world. The image of "A Female Negro Slave with a Weight Chained to her Ankle" is not only a testament to the suffering endured by enslaved individuals but also a powerful symbol of the resilience and humanity of those who lived under the yoke of slavery.
