The Slave Market

[Hugin&Munin]

Two girls, before and after becoming slaves, free from clothing and free from the need to think for themselves.
Two sisters, bidding is allowed.
It is evening, market day is soon ending, clearance sale.

Would be better if the auctioneer had a body instead of just an arm.

The picture of the two women being offered for sale at $10, reduced from $20 is quite upsetting. Perhaps they can be offered to a... well... different market for a much, much better price?

Yes indeed. There are those of us that would pay dearly for such a delicious pair. There is a grossly underserved market here, and merchandise such as this doesn't come along every day.

*nod* Two roasts for a hungry wolf. Myself...I am but a fillet. Many more of me would be needed.... even for a single feed.

But I'm sure you would be a tasty morsel in your own right.

My body and bones would be so easily crunched by sharp hungry teeth.

Then I shall think of other ways to play with you.

That is very sweet....but you may think of me as a one-off.

Musketeers had fun during the market

In a silent room, before to market.

Musketeers had fun during the market

They're a bit mystified by the prices, 'Ces $, c'est quoi, bordel ? Pouvons-nous les avoir pour vingt écus ?'

The western women could not believe they would be sold as slaves. The 'camel jockeys' that captured them thought they would make good stock at the market, lining their pockets with more dollars that they had ever seen. Why, the women could fetch at least ten dollars a piece! It is important to keep them naked. It shows what a good fetch each one is and they really can flee 'dressed' as they are...

@Eulalia , you'll never get a bargain: in 1600, 20 ecus were worth around €2500...!

Well, at least as a slavegirl, I don't underestimate what I'm worth!

Slight correction on Elizabeth I: The colony of Virginia was established by the Virginia Company chartered by King James VI and I in 1606; Jamestown established 1607.

Elizabeth had chartered a colony which was established on Roanoke Island in 1585. Of course the colony failed, and the war with Spain (which remained undeclared for 19 years) prevented a successful return of the English. (Not trying to nitpick, just clarifying.) There were other contemporary attempts as far north as Newfoundland before the Roanoke attempt. Fascinating stuff the age of exploration and settlement.

Thanks for the clarification. You see, one can't know everything.

In fact, I was assuming the Musketeers in Gerembeau's pic were Les Trois Mousquetaires of Dumas' swashbuckling novel - they were at the court of Louis XIII, 1610-43, dominated by the sinister Cardinal Richelieu.

Now, back to the slave market!
