Enslaved and Free Blacks in Saint Domingue

Slaves and Free Blacks in Saint Domingue

Annotation

This engraving pairs images of enslaved people and free blacks in four categories: dress, deportment, entertainment, and access to water. Although there are differences between the pairs, these are not as great as they might be.
