1802314211Paris: Dubroca et Bonneville 1802. First edition. Frontispiece portrait by Bonneville. iv 74 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Mid-nineteenth century green cloth front cover stamped with gilt arms of Ernest Augustus I of Hanover 1771-1851 and his ink stamps on half-title and title. Fine. First edition. Frontispiece portrait by Bonneville. iv 74 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. First edition of one of the first biographies of the Haitian revolutionary general Toussaint-Louverture 1743-1803 published in the year before his death. A profoundly anti-revolutionary and colonialist work which portrays Toussaint-Louverture as violent duplicitous and tyrannical: "Au moment où le voile est entièrement déchiré sur l'hypocrisie profonde et sur les projets ambitieux de Toussaint-Louverture; au moment où le trahison de ce chef de noirs est consommée . quel Français ne lira pas avec intérêt la vie de cet homme ." <br/><br/>The author Jean-Louis Dubroca was hired by Napoleon's regime to produce this propagandistic and counter-revolutionary work prior to the French army's attempt to repress the Haitian slave revolt. The portrait by Bonneville is apocryphal - no portraits from life of Toussaint-Louverture exist - but is similar to the portrait in Charles Yves Cousin d'Avallon's Histoire de Toussaint-Louverture Paris 1802. <br/><br/>"Many biographies of Louverture have appeared in the past two centuries although most of them recycled oral traditions or previous secondary works. The first full-length biography which attacked Louverture as a pro-independence traitor to France was Louis Dubroca La vie de Toussaint Louverture ." Girard Toussaint-Louverture: A Revolutionary Life p. 321. Among Dubroca's many other works are a Louisiana travelogue Paris 1802 and biographies of Napoleon Paris 1802 and Dessalines Paris 1804 leader of the Haitian revolution following Toussaint-Louverture's death in a Paris prison in 1803. <br/><br/>English editions of the present work were published in 1802 in London and Charleston South Carolina - a town to which many white Haitians had fled during the revolution - as well as editions in Dutch Danish Swedish and German.

18067234Mexico City: Juan López Cancelada en la oficina de Mariano de Zuniga y Ontiveros 1806. First Mexican edition and first with the plates. Quarto 20.5 x 14.8 cm pp 4 1-10 1-18 2 19-106 with frontispiece and nine engraved plates. The plates are by Jose Simon de Larrea and Manuel Lopez Lopez and consist of portraits of the leaders of this famous slave revolt and some scenes of the atrocities committed. The rebellion against French rule in Haiti St. Domingue is painted in the worst light part of the French propaganda about this revolt but the facts were indeed grim. Jean-Jacques Dessalines fought alongside L'Ouverture for Haiti’s freedom became the first emperor of the new nation: his bloodthirsty ways were notorious even in his time. The engravers depict their subjects as virtual caricatures of themselves with overly large lips and noses and bulging eyes and engaging in brutal atrocities while the whites are shone in the most humane forms. The plates are unique to this edition and appear nowhere else and have a nightmarish quality. Emperor Maximilian owned a copy of this book. Dubroca the author wrote an equally disparaging life of Toussaint L'Ouverture. The publisher Juan López Cancelada was a Spanish-born emigrant who became a well-known polemicist and political agitator in Mexico: he may well have published this book as a warning about what could happen in Mexico with its huge "caste" population. Binding is contemporary full Mexican tree calf with leather spine label spine gilt marbled endpapers sprinkled edges. The final leaf of text has some old repairs. Very good copy. <br/><br/> Juan López Cancelada en la oficina de Mariano de Zuniga y Ontiveros hardcover books

18021766Stockholm: tryckt hos Carl Delén 1802. First Swedish edition. Papered spine. Occasional brown spots. In very good condition. First Swedish edition. 87 1 p. <p><br /> First edition of the Swedish translation of the first biography of the "Black Napoleon" Toussaint-Louverture.<br /> <p><p><br /> François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture 1743-1803 was an ex-slave the best-known and the most successful black commanders of the Haitian Revolution the only successful slave rebellion in history. The insurrection culminated in the elimination of slavery and the founding of the Republic of Haiti in 1804 the first independent black republic and the second independent nation in the Western Hemisphere.<br /> <p><p><br /> Approaching the last phase of the Revolution after Toussaint Louverture defeated the British expeditionary force in 1798 and led a successful invasion of the neighboring Santo Domingo freeing the slaves there in late 1800 and early 1801 he issued a constitution for Saint-Domingue that decreed he would be governor-for-life and called for black autonomy and a sovereign black state. In response Napoleon Bonaparte dispatched a large expeditionary force of French soldiers and warships to the island to restore French rule. At the same time the ongoing campaign to vilify Louverture has been increased and Bonaparte's regime hired Jean-Louis Dubroca 1757-1835 to lead the propaganda war against Louverture. Dubroca wrote and published a biography La vie de Toussaint-Louverture chef des noirs insurgés de Saint-Domingue in 1802 accusing him of treason and murder and attacking for his hypocrisy and desperate ambitions Ghachem; Danforth 2014. Besides Swedish the book was translated into English and Dutch in the same year later into German and Spanish published in Mexico in 1806.<br /> <p><p><br /> In her dissertation Helen Matthews claims that Dubroca's book appeared several months before Charles-Yves Cousin D'Avallon's Histoire de Toussaint-Louverture Paris 1802 thus it is the first biography of Louverture published in France Matthews 2012.<br /> <p>. tryckt hos Carl Delén unknown
