"Group of Negroes, as imported to be sold for slaves" is a notable engraving created by the English artist and poet William Blake (1757–1827) in 1806, based on a drawing by John Gabriel Stedman. The work was part of a series of illustrations for Stedman's book, "Narrative, of a Five Years' Expedition, against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam," which recounted his experiences in the Dutch colony of Suriname in South America. The book, published in 1796, aimed to expose the brutality of the slave trade and the harsh realities of plantation life.

Blake's engraving is a stark depiction of the inhumanity of slavery, showing a group of enslaved Africans shackled together, having just arrived from Africa to be sold in the Americas. The image serves as a powerful visual condemnation of the transatlantic slave trade and reflects the abolitionist sentiments of the period. The work is characterized by Blake's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion and suffering through his artistry.

As an artist known for his expressive and often visionary works, Blake brought a poignant and evocative quality to the illustrations he produced for Stedman's narrative. "Group of Negroes, as imported to be sold for slaves" stands as a significant historical document, providing insight into the anti-slavery movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as showcasing Blake's skill as an engraver and his commitment to social justice. The engraving remains an important piece of art in the context of British abolitionist literature and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
