Habit of Imoinda in the Tragedy of Oroonoko

by Thomas Jefferys

This particular engraving created by Thomas Jefferys entitled "Habit of Imoinda in the Tragedy of Oroonoko" represents a compelling combination of 18th century fashion and colonial fantasy. The image portrays the main heroine in Thomas Southerne's play version of Aphra Behn’s novel.

In this print, we can see the application of rococo style for depicting a tragic heroine. Though she originated from West Africa and lived the life of an enslaved woman in Suriname, Jefferys portrays her wearing fashionable exotic clothes.
