EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the year 1791, when Mirbeck, National Commissioner and delegate by the king, arrived in St Domingue (now known as Haiti). The image captures the essence of this pivotal time with its intricate details and powerful composition. Mirbeck stands tall and dignified at the center of the frame, exuding authority and determination. His presence symbolizes France's influence over St Domingue during that era. The French School artist skillfully portrays Mirbeck's confident stance through precise engraving techniques. The Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris houses this remarkable piece of art, preserving an important chapter in both French and Caribbean history. It serves as a reminder of France's colonial past while shedding light on Haiti's struggle for independence. Leonard de Selva expertly captures every nuance of this historical event through his lens. The monochrome tones add depth to the image, emphasizing its timeless quality. This photograph is not just a visual representation; it is a gateway into understanding the complex dynamics between colonizer and colonized. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to that fateful day in October 1791 when Mirbeck embarked on his mission to St Domingue. It invites us to reflect on our shared past while acknowledging Haiti's journey towards freedom and self-determination.
