1915–1957: (The Visual Record of Occupation and Recovery): The era of U.S. intervention is marked by a somber photograph of Charlemagne Péralte’s corpse and portraits of Occupation-era officials like Admiral Caperton and President Dartiguenave. Military hardware and infrastructure are represented by the U.S.S. Washington and the Banque Nationale. Following the withdrawal of U.S. forces, the focus shifts to the “Second Independence” with portraits of leaders like Dumarsais Estimé and Paul Magloire. The iconography of this time includes meetings between Magloire and international figures like Eisenhower and Trujillo. These visual entries serve to document the cultural and political shifts as Haiti sought to redefine its sovereignty in the mid-20th century.
