Re: "WHITE GHOSTS AND SILVER BULLETS: IMAGINARY OBJECTS AND THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION" by Tabitha MCINTOSH
Good morning, LeGrace, and thank you so much for giving us all more detail about the much-rumoured contemporary death scene portrait. I'm familiar with the medical notes by the King's physician that are held in the Benjamin Hunt collection at Boston Public Library and which were published some decades later - I assume that's the account you're talking about? The portrait sounds utterly fascinating, and an outstanding visual and archival corrective to the European-created visual record of the Kingdom.
