ABOLITION

2007 is a year of anniversaries. Among others, two significant events are being celebrated: the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the life of that well-loved preacher and hymn-writer, John Newton, who died that year.
Day One commemorates both events in a single publication entitled Abolition. The graphic cover design, with its locks, chains and blood, immediately stirs the conscience and focuses the mind on the iniquity of the slave trade.
