"Family of Negro Slaves from Loango" is a significant historical engraving created by the renowned British artist and poet William Blake (1757–1827). The work was produced in 1792 as plate 69 for the publication "Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam," authored by John Gabriel Stedman and published in 1806. The narrative recounts Stedman's experiences and observations during his time in Suriname as a soldier hired to suppress a rebellion among the enslaved population.

Blake's engraving is a poignant visual representation of the human cost of slavery, depicting a family of enslaved people from Loango, a region in Central Africa from which many individuals were forcibly taken to the Americas. The image is characterized by Blake's attention to detail and his capacity to convey emotion and humanity, which was consistent with his broader body of work that often addressed themes of social justice and human suffering.

The publication of Stedman's narrative, with its accompanying illustrations by Blake and other artists, played a role in the abolitionist movement in Britain by exposing the brutality of the slave trade and the conditions of enslaved people in the colonies. Blake's engravings, including "Family of Negro Slaves from Loango," were instrumental in shaping public opinion by providing a visual account that complemented Stedman's written descriptions. The work remains an important historical document, reflecting the intersection of art, literature, and social activism at the turn of the 19th century.
