Additional Details

Rare engraving of the Haitian revolutionary leader on horseback. The first example of this engraving that we have seen. Toussaint is shown here as a handsome and heroic young man, rather than the classic Delpech images which depict him with an exaggerated, jutting lower lip and chin.
