Portraits of Toussaint Louverture

Emperor Soulouque and his court were the butt of caricaturists, mainly Daumier and Cham. It is interesting to note that Cham was the grand son of Comte de Noé, the former owner of Toussaint Louverture in the days of slavery in Saint Domingue. Besides the numerous caricatures of Soulouque by Cham and Daumier, the site shows the derision of the Haitian army (Haiti: Infanterie Légère) in a color lithograph by Draner.
