This pencil-and-watercolor diagram shows how members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League would surround a "slave-hunter", or "SH," until he consented to release the person he was attempting to kidnap. The League was a secret society founded in Boston in 1854 to resist the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.
