[Ashworth, D J] :Shooting at maroons. [Mauritius, 1830s?]

A forest scene, showing two black men with guns aiming at two other black men who have been boiling a cauldron over a fire. One is running away, the other is falling. The scene is likely to be in Mauritius and to involve shooting escaped slaves, since the word maroon has the meaning of an escaped slave.
