Description
Proclamation prohibiting trade between the American colonies and “Guiny, Buiny and Angola” by all other persons and vessels other than those connected with The Royal African Company of England. The Company was granted the monopoly for the English slave trade in 1672, and continued to trade in human cargo until 1713 (though their monopoly ended in 1698), when they dropped that side of the business in favor of the now more lucrative traffic in gold and ivory.
