EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the image of Guy Joseph Bonnet, a prominent figure in Haitian history. Bonnet, born in 1773, was not only a historian but also an esteemed officer in the military of Haiti. His career saw him rise through the ranks, eventually becoming Major General commanding the Gonaives district of the army during the Haitian Revolution.
Bonnet played a significant role in Haiti's fight for independence and was one of the signatories of the Act of Independence in 1804. His memoirs, titled "Historical Souvenirs," provide valuable insights into this tumultuous period in Haitian history.
