1825WRCAM47136Port-au-Prince 1825. Watercolor 6 1/2 x 5 inches. Matted and framed to 10 x 8 inches. A few faint spots of foxing. Colors bright and fresh. Near fine. A handsome watercolor of Haitian general and president Jean-Pierre Boyer 1776-1850 who reigned over Haiti from 1818 to 1843. Boyer a free mulatto was born in Port-au-Prince but educated in France. One of the leaders of the Haitian Revolution he fled to France when Toussaint's uprising turned against the mulattoes as well as the whites returning with LeClerc in 1802. After independence Haiti split into two states north and south and Boyer served as the right hand of Alexandre Petion who established himself as president of the southern state. Boyer was appointed by Petion to be his successor in 1818 while Henri Christophe still ruled in the north. After Christophe committed suicide in 1820 and his young son was killed ten days later Boyer succeeded in reunifying the two states of Haiti. In late 1821 Santo Domingo became independent from Spain and Boyer swiftly moved to invade uniting the island under his rule by early 1822. In 1825 after agreeing to an indemnity he obtained official French recognition of the country for the first time since the revolution. <br> <br> At first Boyer's rule looked like a new start for the war-ravaged country and many free blacks from the United States considered settling there; but Boyer preferred to maintain a semi-feudal government and little was done to improve the situation. He stayed solidly in power until an earthquake was followed by an insurrection in 1843. Santo Domingo rebelled and won its independence back in 1844. Boyer fought back for over a year before fleeing first to Jamaica in 1845 and then to France where he died in 1850. He succeeded in lasting as president longer than any other Haitian ruler just edging out "Papa Doc" Duvalier for the honor. <br> <br> In this portrait which shows Boyer in three- quarter profile facing left he is dressed in his full regalia as general and president wearing a blue military coat trimmed in gold braid and a white cape with a red lining. This likeness closely resembles an engraving by Raban dated 1825 which is probably based on it. He is at the height of his achievements having just solidified his power by obtaining recognition from France. The portrait is signed with the initials "B.C." written in reverse in the bottom corner. An outstanding image of Haiti's fourth president. unknown books

18953632Port-au-Prince 1895. Letter signed “F. Hyppoliteâ€. Single folio sheet ca. 27 × 21 cm. Written in ink on one side folded. Light toning small edge wear old folds. Letter signed “F. Hyppoliteâ€. Single folio sheet ca. 27 × 21 cm. Written in ink on one side folded. <p><br /> Signed letter from Haitian President Florvil Hyppolite to prominent members of the Haitian intellectual diaspora in Paris including future ministers and historian Horace Pauléus Sannon.<br /> <p><p><br /> In this official yet personal letter addressed to Th. Mathieu Joseph Justin Horace Pauléus Sannon Adéca Yn. Pierre and Furcy Châtelain in Paris President Florvil Hyppolite 1828–1896 acknowledges the receipt of a tableau sent the previous year by a group of Haitians living in Paris. The tableau transmitted via Brutus Saint-Victor a prominent figure in Port-au-Prince who himself later served as a cabinet minister contained photographs of the senders. Writing with formal courtesy Hyppolite expresses his gratitude for this thoughtful gesture and conveys his warm appreciation and esteem to his correspondents.<br /> <p><p><br /> The signatories include several figures who would later become prominent in Haiti’s political and intellectual life. Justin Joseph was a jurist and writer who went on to serve briefly as Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1914 and authored significant works on Haitian law and foreign relations. Horace Pauléus Sannon 1870–1938 became one of Haiti’s most important historians and diplomats serving as foreign minister ambassador to France and author of landmark studies on the nation’s revolutionary past. Furcy Châtelain later held high office as both Minister of Justice and Minister of Foreign Affairs during the 1910s. The other two men Th. Mathieu and Adéca Yn. Pierre were likely members of the Haitian expatriate community in Paris though their identities remain less certain.<br /> <p><p><br /> Hyppolite’s presidency lasted from 1889 until his sudden death in 1896. Rising to power after years of internal conflict and foreign interference he worked to stabilize the government modernize the army and strengthen Haiti’s position in international affairs. His rule is often remembered for its emphasis on infrastructure projects including railway and port development and for efforts to maintain a careful balance between Haiti’s internal factions and the increasing influence of foreign powers particularly the United States Germany and France. This letter written near the end of his presidency is a testament to his connections not only with domestic political circles but also with Haitians abroad reflecting the networks of support and exchange that linked the republic to its intellectual and diplomatic communities overseas.<br /> <p>. unknown
