1811réf. 6498Wien: S.A. Steiner und Co 1811. Very good plus. Stipple engraving 10.5 x 8 inches on a 14.25 x 9.75 inch sheet. Minor abrasions and edge wear very minor toning and staining. The very rare first and only edition of this separately issued portrait of Henri Christophe an important figure of the Haitian Revolution who later became the only monarch of the Kingdom of Haiti. The bust-length portrait was executed using the stipple engraving method by the Austrian printmaker Blasius Höfel and published by S.A. Steiner und Comp. in Vienna a firm active from the early 1810s. This undated print very likely appeared during Henri Christophe's reign which ran from 1811 to 1820 when he committed suicide. Henri Christophe 1767-1820 is depicted in military regalia wearing the Grand Cross of the Royal and Military Order of St. Henry an award for valor which he himself created. He first rose to prominence during the 1791 slave uprising in Haiti and later served under Jean-Jacques Dessalines and fought with Toussaint L'Ouverture. In 1811 Henri Christophe declared himself "King Henri I of Haiti Sovereign of Ile de la Tortue Ile de la Gonâve and other adjacent Islands Destroyer of Tyranny Regenerator and Benefactor of the Haitian Nation First Monarch of the New World" which in effect comprised the northern half of Haiti. During his reign Henri built numerous castles and palaces including Sans-Souci and the Citadelle Laferrière but he became widely unpopular due to his use of forced labor to keep sugar production high. His rule was of course much watched in Europe although depictions of him are relatively rare. This print by Blasius Höfel became a standard source image of Christophe and a model for other European works. An important and rare image of a significant figure in the early history of free Haiti and its only ever King. OCLC KVK and the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek together locate only two copies of this print at Yale in the Randolph Linsly Simpson African-American Collection and at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.

1796réf. 52308Port-au-Prince. September 21 1796. Supplying the British Occupation Force Printed in Pre-Revolutionary Haiti A rare pay order for supplies intended for the British occupation force in Haiti made out to M. Juré Ainé. The document is signed by John Wigglesworth agent to the Commander of the British forces in Haiti and later Britain's envoy to the leader of the Haitian Revolution Touissant Louverture. By early the next century Louverture would become ever so briefly chief of the first free Black Republic in Haiti. The payee Jure has docketed the verso in French with an additional docket in French transferring payment to Dutilh & Wachsmuth a Philadelphia mercantile house. St. Domingo the French part of Haiti was a highly prosperous sugar coffee and cotton slave-estate island whose produce was described as exceeding that of the whole of the British Leeward and surrounding islands. In 1789 it was said to consist of 10000 white people 24000 free mixed-race people and 455000 negro slaves. Although free local laws decreed that mixed-race individuals could not accept any office or employment other than as planters. As news spread of the revolution this group revolted but were roundly defeated. Part of the white response to the uprising was to create their own local assembly which excluded those of mixed race and resolved to transfer the island's allegiance to Great Britain whereupon France sent Commissioners who according to some reports recruited negroes to fight the whites. Starting in August 1791 the slaves revolted in many towns implementing major massacres and destruction of estates and establishing free communities of their own. They were led by Touissant Louverture an ex-slave who later joined the French army after the country abolished slavery in 1793. Louverture swiftly rose to the rank of Commander in Chief of the French forces in Haiti and proved to be an effective leader. In 1794 the British army under the pretense of the Napoleonic war sent a force from Jamaica that occupied Port-au-Prince and some other towns a welcome development for the remaining white population on the island. This British force was commanded by General Sir Thomas Maitland of the 62 Foot Regiment for whom Wigglesworth was the army agent. In the end the British were not successful. By 1798 the British army had been virtually wiped out by yellow fever and in April of that year Maitland withdrew the British forces from Haiti under a guarantee from Louverture that the remaining pro-British whites would be protected. In May 1801 Touissant established St. Domingo as an independent republic. This alarmed the French so badly that they subsequently sent an army of 25000 that recaptured the island within a year and by a ruse conveyed Louverture to France where he soon after died in prison.

1796réf. 52307Port-au-Prince. May 13 1796. Supplying the British Occupation Force Printed in Pre-Revolutionary Haiti A rare pay order for supplies made out to Baron Jean-Charles de Montalembert on behalf of the invading British occupation force in Haiti. The document is signed by John Wigglesworth agent to the Commander of the British forces in Haiti and later Britain's envoy to the leader of the Haitian Revolution Touissant Louverture. By early the next century Louverture would become ever so briefly chief of the first free Black Republic in Haiti. The payee Montalembert has docketed the verso with an additional docket in French transferring the funds to Dutilh & Wachsmuth a Philadelphia mercantile house.

Baron de Montalembert had commanded the Legion Britanniques de Sainte-Domingue a force of 1200 men composed of white colonials recruits from Europe and possibly some free mixed-race Haitians. Montalembert's Grenadiers were one of the most dependable units fighting for the British until the aforementioned fever along with heavy casualties decimated the unit. They disbanded on June 25 1797.

Supplying the British Occupation Force Printed in Pre-Revolutionary Haiti A rare pay order for supplies bought from William Dickson by the invading British occupation force in Haiti.
