AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This work contains an early Dutch-language edition from 1853 about Toussaint Louverture, the leader of the Haitian independence revolution. The book offers a nineteenth-century interpretation of his life, the fight against slavery, and the historical events that ultimately led to the formation of Haiti as an independent state. The text is characteristic of its time and provides insight into both historical facts and how Europe in the 19th century viewed colonial uprisings and emancipation movements. The included frontispiece engraving enhances the historical value of the entire work.

Publications of this title, especially from the early Dutch edition of 1853, are scarce on the market. Copies are relatively rarely offered and are usually only found in specialized collections or antiquarian shops, which significantly increases their rarity and collector's value.

This article is carefully packed and shipped with a track-and-trace code.
