1788–1803: (Visualizing Revolutionary Transition and Conflict): The volume catalogs illustrations that depict the violent transition from colony to independent state, including depictions of slave revolts. It features portraits of the three central figures of the revolutionary era: Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and Henry Christophe. These are contrasted with images of French figures like Leclerc, illustrating the adversarial nature of the period. The architectural legacy of this time is highlighted through images of the Sans Souci Palace and the massive Citadel-Henry. These visual markers correspond to the chapters covering the “Death of Saint-Domingue” and the mandate to “Live Free or Die”.
