Engraving of Phillis Wheatley, c. 1773, used as the frontespiece for her book of poems, Poems on Various Subjects (London, 1773), the first known book published by an African American

What attitudes about Wheatley and her poems are conveyed in this portrait? How do these compare to her initial reputation in England and America? How do they contrast with her death in poverty and relatively unknown.
