费城出生 詹宁斯在伦敦度过了本杰明·韦斯特的圈子. 1791年左右,他根据费城图书馆公司创始人本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)和董事的指示,开始创作一幅拟作费城图书馆公司新建筑礼物的寓言历史画,导演多为贵格会会士和活跃的废奴主义者. 这一罕见的研究捕捉出自由图中完成的绘画的愿景,被艺术和科学的符号所包围,包括一个显示什么可能代表法国殖民地圣多明格(现为海地)的地球,是1791年一次大奴隶起义的地点. 在反对武装抵抗时,自由似乎在倡导更和平的结果,因为被割断的铁链倒在她脚下,她向一群解放了的男女老幼姿态,这些姿态被描绘成传统的家长主义时期的祈祷姿态。 在中地上,"黑色"人物会围绕"自由之极"而起舞,并出演由非洲衍生出的一个美国古德·班卓克. 这是一位美国出生的艺术家为人所熟知的处理跨大西洋奴隶制及其废除问题的第一幅画作.
