Figure 22 Engraving from
The Penny Magazine, (London: Published by the Society for the Diffusion
of Useful Knowledge, 1838). (Private collection.) This depiction of Toussaint
LOuverture appeared on the cover of Penny Magazine in 1838.
The magazine contained a wide range of informative illustrated articles
and was aimed at the working class. The 1805 Rainsford engraving is the
obvious source of this image although Toussaints facial features have
been given a much harsher look. |
