He describes the unbereable voyage aboard an overcrowded ship, the unhealthy conditions, the diseases and the deaths, as well as the screams and the groans of those that, like him, were obliged to leave their homes and work as slaves.
Louis Comfort Tiffany was an American artist, painter, decorator and designer. He is particularly remembered for his influence on Art Nouveau and his contributions to glassmaking. Tiffany was responsible for the development of "Favrile glass," which was inspired by the work of Émile Gallé at the Paris Exhibition of 1889.

This embodied many of the artistic elements that would later become popular in Art Nouveau.
