EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense atmosphere of the Haitian Insurrection in the town of Cap-Haitien during the tumultuous political struggles of 1865. The photograph depicts an insurgent camp set up at the suburb market, with men armed with rifles wandering about the market square, standing in groups engaged in animated discussions, and sitting by a pile of rubble that has been piled just by the market buildings. The sense of unease is palpable as men keep a watchful eye on their surroundings, while others gather around a fire, their guns stacked a short distance away. The West Indies, then a French colony, were in the midst of a prolonged period of political instability, with various factions vying for power and control. This photograph provides a rare glimpse into the daily life of the insurgents during this time, offering a window into the complex and often violent history of Haiti.
