Colonial Imaginary No.2 overlays the frontispiece of Ottobah Cugoano's groundbreaking Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species onto an engraving showing Cugoano alongside artists Maria and Richard Cosway, for whom he worked at Pall Mall, London. Above this scene, portraits of Richard Cosway, the Prince Regent (later George IV) by John Hoppner, and abolitionist Olaudah Equiano stand side by side-contrasting imperial power, artistic patronage, and radical resistance in the fight against slavery.
