TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE: ENGLISH ENGRAVING FROM KIRBY'S WONDERFUL AND SCIENTIFIC MUSEUM1815 This engraving shows Toussaint Louverture in full military dress, standing in profile with his arm extended, pointing forward with a raised pistol in hand. He wears a plumed cocked hat with a cockade, an ornately trimmed jacket with epaulettes and chevron-striped sleeve, a wide waist sash holding a sword, and riding boots with spurs. The plate is captioned "TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE" and inscribed below: "Published March 21, 1815 by R.S. Kirby, 11 London House Yard, S. Paul's." This publication line firmly identifies the print's origin: R.S.
