Phillis Wheatley, Negro servant to Mr. John Wheatley of Boston Oval toned plaster plaque reproducing in low relief an engraved portrait of African American poet Phillis Wheatley used as the frontispiece of Wheatley's Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (London: Printed for A. Bell, bookseller, Aldgate; and sold by Messrs. Cox and Berry, King-Street, Boston, 1773). The engraving was made after a portrait attributed to African American slave and artist Scipio Moorhead.
