EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Taken de la Ravine at Reuvres on 23/02/1802" offers a glimpse into a significant historical event - the Leclerc Expedition in Haiti. The image depicts the encirclement of troops led by Francois Dominique Toussaint, famously known as "Toussaint-Louverture". The Leclerc Expedition was an ambitious military campaign initiated by France to regain control over its former colony, then called Ile de Santo Domingo (now Haiti). This engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, captures a pivotal moment during this expedition. As we delve into this piece of history through art, we witness the intense struggle for power and dominance that characterized colonialism. The French troops surround Toussaint's forces in an attempt to suppress his rebellion and reestablish French authority. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when Haiti was still under foreign rule. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by Toussaint-Louverture and his followers in their fight for freedom. Preserved within a private collection and made available through eGiancarlo Costa's efforts, this artwork provides us with valuable insights into Caribbean history. Its significance lies not only in documenting past events but also shedding light on the complex dynamics between dominiums like France and territories like Haiti. As we explore this engraving from Fine Art Finder's archives, let us reflect upon the lasting
