An Historical Look at Haiti-U.S. Relationships
Focus on  Pierre Toussaint

There are numerous portraits of Toussaint Louverture: all different from one another. We reproduced all the early ones. Two portraits are worthy of special consideration: a) the Lithograph by Maurin published in 1838 which was based on a lost portrait of Louverture belonging to the French envoy Roume and b) the portrait published in 1880 as a frontispiece to the biography of Toussaint Louverture by Gragnon-Lacoste based on a portrait of Louverture which belonged to his son Isaac.
