The article examines the presence of transatlantic slavery in colonial Boston through the lens of John Smibert's Boston studio in 1737. It highlights Smibert's advertisement for the return of an escaped enslaved man named Cuffee, whose involvement in Smibert's studio is suggested by his pigment-stained breeches. It explores the commonplace nature of slavery in mid-eighteenth-century Boston and the intertwined relationship between slavery, newspaper publications, trade, and surveillance.
